About the artist
Based in Fairhope, Alabama, Bruce Larsen works with reclaimed industrial materials. Steel, mechanical parts and other found objects become the structure of expressive figures that suggest movement, strength and balance.
Largely self-taught, Larsen developed his approach through experimentation with materials and construction. His sculpture invites a closer look: familiar components remain visible even as they become part of a larger figure.
ASAMA recognized Larsen as its 2009 Sport Artist of the Year — Sculptor. His work connects the physical energy of sport with the possibilities of reclaimed materials.
