About the Item
Painted Cast Bronze, Collaboration with Robert J. Lang, Edition of 50
Kevin Box is an internationally-renowned sculptor working in cast bronze, steel, and other metals. His work pushes the boundaries of the casting process and celebrates of the delicacy of paper and the permanence of metal. Box's sculpture is whimsical and elegant, as he invites you to touch and experience the meaning of the work for yourself in a tactile way.
As a child, Kevin Box developed a passion for creativity and the graphic arts during summers at his uncle’s design firm. Later, as a college student of graphic arts in New York City working primarily in paper, during a trip to Greece and in the presence of the sculptural longevity of classical antiquity, he began to desire to contribute to the lasting history of art.
In a quest to learn the most permanent of fine arts, Box studied at foundries in Texas for three years, a decision which afforded him the freedom of experimentation. Ignited with inspiration, and empowered by a full service studio to work in and a treasure trove of paper found in the warehouse of an old print shop the foundry was renting, he started working with paper again.
Box says of his technique:
“It took two years of tireless experimentation for me to develop the process of casting paper into bronze, another seven years to perfect, and it continues to evolve today.”

Kevin Box
Kevin Box, pushes the boundaries of traditional metal casting by creating sculptures that are so delicate, detailed and weightless, that they appear to be made simply of paper. After studying the graphic arts in New York, Box’s practice transformed during a trip to Greece when he decided to transition from graphic art to metal casting – a medium that will withstand the centuries and provide inspiration for generations to come. His exploration of working with metal led him to study at foundries in Texas for three years, a move that afforded him the freedom of experimentation to grow his skills and eventually open his studio. After acquiring a treasure trove of paper found in the warehouse of an old print shop near to the foundry he rented, Box decided to test mixing the two mediums by casting paper in metal. The unique combination of the delicacy of paper with the fortitude of metal created whimsical, fun and beautiful pieces with surprising weight, both literally and figuratively. Box further engages with his viewers by inviting them to touch and handle the artworks, believing that mixing the tactile and visual experiences allows his audience to fully connect with the artworks and explore their untold stories. Today, Box’s monumental sculptures can be found around the United States including the Austin City Symphony, Texas and the Four Seasons Hotel, Washington D.C. and internationally, including Australia, Morocco and Japan.
