Born in 1948, Campbell Paxton was educated as an art historian, but soon realized he was an artist born. Working in bronze and clay, he produces exquisitely sensual images of mythic gods and heroes..."I create small sculptures on mythological themes and use the human body to explore movement in space, action and reaction, and the problems of "open" and "closed" form. I try to make objects that move, delight, and instruct — or, at least — provide incentives to explore the sources I set askew." His works are in the Permanent Collection of the Leslie-Lohman Gay Art Foundation in New York. The artist lives and works in Mentor, Ohio.
