Dan Glanz elected Fellow

2/14/2020

0 Comments

 
The National Sculptors’ Guild’s board of directors nominated Daniel Glanz to move up from Associate to Fellow within our organization. This passed with over two-thirds support by the current Fellows.   Fellows exemplify the best qualities of the National Sculptors’ Guild through their exceptional merit of work as well as esteem in the sculpture community.  Dan captures a timeless intimacy for the viewer.  His art is known for its energy, movement and technical mastery.  Both his figurative and his wildlife work share a powerful yet elegant quality, drawn from his classical approach to sculpture. ​ We have seen great success with Dan, below are images of some of the current large-scale commissions we working on together. Stay tuned for completion images of these and more.

Leaps and Bounds

This morning we installed multiple pieces by NSG Fellow Daniel Glanz at the new Riverdale Animal Shelter in Adams County, Colorado

“Leaps and Bounds” at the entry. And “Sweet Dreams” with “Grassland Trio” in the nearby calming garden.

We hope you’ll get a chance to enjoy these placements soon. For now the shelter recommends adopting online as construction finishes up, and as we all await a vaccine for in-person adoptions.

11/3/2019: The last several months have been filled with sculpting and casting for this project. #process.

6/20/2019:
The Adam's County Arts Committee has approved our proposal for the second area for art at the new Riverdale Animal Shelter. Two sculptures by 
​Daniel Glanz and the National Sculptors' Guild will be placed in the calming garden.

​​In this quieter placement we have a mouse curled up next to a sleeping cat in this unlikely pairing as they take a break from the ‘race’. The bronze is placed on a large sandstone natural bench, inviting visitors to sit next to Sweet Dreams for a moment of respite.
​
Finally, Grassland Trio again combines stainless steel with bronze, depicting a rabbit, lizard and bird united by tall grasses representing the natural beauty of the area, and a few of the other (maybe lesser known) pets that the shelter assists.

Daniel Glanz and the National Sculptors' Guild are happy to announce our design for Adams County's new Riverdale Animal Shelter was accepted and will be realized in the coming year. We will post updates here as the sculpture evolves.  Energetic and enthusiastically welcoming, this piece creates an immediate connection for the public with the shelter; becoming an iconic entrance piece for the Riverdale Animal Shelter.  A dog leaps in the air to catch a frisbee. Across the entry one sees the young child that threw the frisbee. In-between, a cat sitting on the provided bench has it’s paw up in a futile attempt to intercept. The dog and cat will include sculpted details specific to Riverdale, including the names “River” and “Dale” inscribed on collars – reinforcing proper care of pets. The frisbee may include the Riverdale logo.   The sculptures will be cast in bronze and scaled at life-size, the frisbee and abstract element that the dog attaches to will be fabricated stainless steel. Patina on the bronze will be warm-browns. The breeds of the cat and dog will be nondescript for universal appeal. The child will be sculpted gender neutral and racially ambiguous for optimum inclusiveness of all visitors to the Riverdale Animal Shelter.  Utilizing the existing bench for the cat invites visitors to sit next to the sculpture and be part of the composition. The artwork provides multiple photo opportunities to capture happy adoption moments.  The term 'Leaps and Bounds' is used to emphasize that someone or something is improving or increasing quickly and greatly... this absolutely rings true for the animals that are sheltered and adopted here. The sculpture demonstrates the health and vitality that comes from our connection with our pets. It also sets the tone for visitors to the shelter; as one enters the facility; they know this to be a place where animals thrive.Leaps & Bounds design for the Adams County Riverdale Animal Shelter
