About the Item

Thought provoking sculpture of a type of fish with the face of a man by Theodore Gall, 1987. Mounted on a chunk of lava rock, the fish has incredible patina that was applied by the artist, interesting catfish type feelers and the face of a seemingly unaware man. From the Theodore “Ted” Gall website: Theodore T. Gall began his career in the arts in the mid-sixties as an animator for teaching films and continued to broaden his skills as a graphic designer. Gall has worked in metal since his early days as an artist. Although his work has not been limited to the human form, it has been his primary focus throughout his career. His compelling figures are most often placed in thought-provoking situations. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art and has shared his expertise with students at the Clay People in Chicago, The Northshore Art League in Winnetka, Illinois, and the Ojai Art Center in Ojai, California. Gall has exhibited and garnered awards throughout the country and is acquiring a burgeoning international clientele.
