PERSONABLE AND PROFESSIONAL

Artist and educator, Kyle Van Lusk, began creating and exhibiting sculpture in the 90’s as a student at the East Carolina University School of Art. Since that time, his work has reflected a variety of traditional mediums and processes.

He is best known for his large-scale works in steel that have been displayed throughout the Southeast; including locations such the Duke University, Stringer’s Ridge Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Creative Arts Guild’s sculpture garden in Dalton, Georgia.

Embodying an industrial elegance, Lusk’s sculptures are heavily influenced by creative processes, the natural landscape, and tool-like forms. His works are often created with the installation site as an integral component of the process.

Also a dedicated educator, he has worked with undergraduate students to explore sculpture and grow as artists since 1998. He has found that students consistently challenge his ideas and help his own work to develop as well.

Professor Lusk currently resides in Brevard, NC with his family,
