Artists
Artists currently working in the Cypress Corners arts district include:
John Henry is known worldwide for his large-scale public works of art.
His sculpture is part of numerous museum, corporate, public and
private collections as well as the collections of many American, European and Asian cities. John Henry is on the board of the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts and the International Sculpture Center. He also currently serves as curator for the Outdoor Museum of Art at Chattanooga State College.
Henry Lautz’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in museums and galleries throughout the United States. His sculpture is in the collection of the Bass Museum of Art in Miami Beach, Florida as well as many private and corporate collections in the United States and abroad. Of his own work Mr. Lautz has said, “In working nonverbally with space, material and color, I explore time at a conscious level that can be described, and also from an unconscious plane that I may never understand.”
Bryan Rasmussen grew up in the shadows of the Northwest, GA mountains in a town forgotten by the interstates and left to grow (or recede) at its own pace. Things that are lost, abandoned or left to rot and rust are what inspire his work. Bryan attended the University of West Georgia where he received a BFA. He now lives and creates art in Chattanooga, TN and will continue to do so until it is time to move on.
Subterranean Comfortability best describes Jason's approach to art.
Jason was reared in Alabama, a stone's throw from the Georgia line, on
Sand Mountain. Time never seems to exist on that "mountain" and it is
that sublime timelessness that his work attempts to use to subvert the
oppressive energy of our post-modern rat-race that we call
civilization. Jason received a BFA from Savannah College of Art &
Design in 2003.
