About the Artist…
Alex Gall
Full-time artist, Metal Sculptor
San Diego CA.
gallartworks@gmail.com
Alex started Gall Artworks Studio, LLC in 2017 in San Diego CA. Currently creating in a 1000 square foot studio with 20’ft ceilings to accommodate works of all shapes and sizes. Creating unique works and large scale site-specific sculpture since 2017.
Growing up in Southern California much of Alex’s works are frozen images of his experiences in and on the water. The stories of his Native American heritage also influence his work.
Development of different ways of incorporating technology mixed with traditional metal working techniques to form the materials has been the journey. Alex noticed long ago that art was a way of helping people see the world in a different spectrum, whether emotionally or intellectually, especially pieces installed in an architectural environment.
Alex’s works large and small have been acquired internationally by public and private collectors.
“Developing through processes my work will be expansions of my visions in iron.”
