Michael Sean Kirby was born in Milford Connecticut in 1967. His formal studies in the arts began at Texas Christian University, then the University of Texas at Austin, and ultimately achieving a Masters Degree in Sculpture - with honors - from the Academia de San Carlos located in Mexico City. Kirby works with a variety of materials: bronze, stone, fiber, concrete and clay.
As both a sculptor and teacher, part of his practice is to question the potential of a line moving through space and creating a form. What can it do? His current work introduces color and surface into a playful yet methodical working process.

Report
Sculpture Month Houston, Altamira: The Urge To Create refers to the famous prehistoric cave in Northern Spain where approximately 17,000 to 16,000 years ago the Cro-Magnon people created magnificent, and now famous, cave paintings. They are similar to those in Lascaux and Chauvet in France.
Along with early carvings made out of animal bones or mammoth ivory, like the "Lion-man" or diverse Venus effigies, these paintings can be considered the origin of art as we know it today.The suggestion to our participating artists is: sit back and picture yourself as a cave artist but with the entire array of modern technology at your disposal.
