Guitar [ gi tr ] – a musical instrument with a long neck, a flat body shaped like a figure eight, and usually six strings that are plucked or strummed
Sculpture [ skúlpchər ] – the creation of a three-dimensional work of art, especially by carving, modeling, or casting.
GraphicGuitars Sculptures are a collection of three-dimensional designs dedicated to the mystic of the guitar.
Artist, Paul Chase, has been creating fine art paintings and prints of the guitar for 10 years. He was infused with the idea of moving from painting to “another dimension” after visiting a sculpture show.
An opportunity for a show in Nashville (“Music City” – “Guitar town”) offered more incentive and passion to use the guitar as the specific model.
Elements of the guitar were required in each creation. Paul simplified the shapes, textures, and lines, and disregarded the “sound” factor, thus allowing for a free flow of fantastic possibilities for “guitar sculptures.
”Chase’s “Graphicguitars” images can be found on book covers, cd covers, posters, t-shirts and have been exhibited in The Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, The Musicians Hall of Fame ,The Grand Ol Opry gift shop in Nashville; Beale Street Music in Memphis; Wild About Music Galleries in Austin TX and Santa Monica; The Texas Musicians Museum; The Art of Rock & Roll Gallery, FT. Collins CO; The Iowa Rock N’ Roll Music Association Museum; The Les Paul Exhibit/Museum in Waukesha, WI,; The National Guitar Museum and the American Guitar Museum and high end guitar shops and on line.The Exhibit is in the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel – 2025 Rosa L. Parks Blvd. – Nashville beginning April 2013 and will run through fall.
