Widely recognized as a child prodigy in art, Joshua Spendlove’s talent and natural ability grew into a passion that kept him productive throughout his youth, creating hundreds of pieces all before the age of 18. Spendlove quickly realized that sculpture was the medium for the greatest expression of motion and the artistic forms of the human body, “three dimensional poetry” as he once called it. Obsessed with the complexity & magnificence of human anatomy, he meticulously studies the bone & muscle structures of his models for accuracy. One of His greatest joys is watching an idea manifest into reality, from a mere glimpse of creative thought, to a tangible resilient masterpiece. Spendlove has dedicated his life to art and can be found painting and sculpting daily in his Southern Utah studio. Spendlove has won numerous prestigious awards for his works & has many collectors public and private throughout the country.
Quotes-
'One of my greatest joys is to see a work of art that I have created give someone else joy, to help them see the beauty of god’s creations, if even just a little more.'
'One of the things that I stress in my work is movement. When I sculpt I really want to bring the sculpture to life. This is accomplished through careful planning, revision of sketches, and studying the natural movement of the human body. I believe that when an artist pays close attention to these things and has a love for art, with a strong desire to achieve, only the best can result, and these qualities will show in the piece.'
'In my art I hope to help others see a little more beauty, to inspire, to appreciate, to love, and to fill the measure of creation…live and be happy.'
