He received his Master of Fine Arts degree at the University of Utah. Little has moved through several stages of three-dimensional art: highly technical craftsmanship, the process itself as art (semi-performance mode) : to the personal philosophy and expression of his current works. · Some pieces are narrative, biographical experiences, some are influenced by nature and the animal world; usually the works combine a rational and intuitive approach. Found objects, bits of broken ceramic, rope, piles of clay embody the spirit of the subject, which is usually ·very symbolic. Artists who have influenced Little are Rauschenberg, Smithson, Duchamb, Beuys, Rudy Autio (University of Montana). "Ken Little's sculpture is both funny and sad. His animals, made out of discards such as old shoes or tires, convey a sense of isolation and rejection, much like the materials they are made of. At the same time, the pieces are intrinsically humorous; the serious and stately poses are contradicted' by the ridiculous handling of the shoes or rags ..... (his) contribution is his unusual ability to transform everyday objects into art work that combines basic feel in n~, sorrow and humor .." (Rena Bransten, Quay Gallery) ) |
