1\u2026<\/strong> One artist<\/em>.<\/strong> The artist behind today\u2019s works is Woodrow Nash<\/strong>. In the tradition of the great masters, Nash’s consuming passion to elevate the human spirit takes the form of sculptures. He builds a sense of mystery and charisma into each sculpture. Through his pieces, Nash achieves his goal of integrating expression, complex symbolism, and sophisticated aesthetics to yield striking embodiments of the human soul and sensuality.<\/p>\n

Born in the late 1940\u2019s in Akron, Ohio, Nash is the product of sanctified churches, 1950\u2019s television images, and black inner city neighborhood schools run by predominantly white middle-class educators. The young student immersed himself in art during an era when artists sought nothing less than old-fashioned honesty in their imagery.<\/p>\n

Okay, now that you\u2019ve been briefed, we\u2019re gonna hit ya with The Three-Piece<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>\n
