411: Alessandro Gallo on his human-animal hybrids

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I talk with
sculptor Alessandro Gallo. He uses idioms and humor as a
foundation for his human-animal hybrids. In our interview, we
talk about transitioning characters from his two-dimensional work
into three dimensions, working with friends as models, and the
role realism plays in drawing audiences into the world of his
sculptures. To see examples of his work, visit

choice among artists who create large work because they are easy
to fire and very reliable. If you want to go big,
go Bailey. For more information
