Artists often take a circuitous route to their craft. In the case of Colorado native James LaCasse, the world of sculpture revealed itself as an alternative to his degree in Economics from Milwaukee's Marquette University.
Since the early 1990s, James LaCasse has established himself among collectors and art aficionados as a major force in the field of sculpture. By combining fluid forms, negative space, an intense realism, and relying on the viewer's ability to "fill the blanks," James LaCasse creates a surreal effect of motion - and emotion - in all his limited-edition pieces. His ever-expanding body of work draws upon diverse influences while shaping a unifying theme: the strength and the joy of the human spirit. It is this belief that strongly resonates in his work and in his approach toward three-dimensional representation.

A solid foundation of anatomy and the foundry arts (mold making, waxes, casting, chasing and patination), blended with insights from studying with such classically trained sculptors as A. Thomas Schomberg, Kirsten Kokkin and Richard McDonald, has given James LaCasse great latitude toward the expression of his vision. It is this approach and background that has resulted in numerous awards and accolades. With further maturation and dedication, the original work of James LaCasse will continue to elicit emotion as it grows in popularity.
