About the Item
Bill Starke's "In My Dreams I Can Fly" is a limited edition, cast and patinated aluminum sculpture created by Bill Starke depicting a male figure free falling through the air.
( 3/99 )
About the artist:
Human beings interacting, colliding, cooperating, striving, & achieving are the themes I wish to portray in my sculptures. My observations on the human condition are meant to be both humorous and thought provoking.
Bill Starke's "Free Man" is everything that good art should be: technically superb, brilliantly composed, emotionally powerful and visually arresting... like George Stubbs, the 18th century English master who spent countless hours in slaughterhouses to understand the anatomy of horses, his knowledge shows in his work.
- John Hazelhurzt, Colorado Springs Independent
