Alfred Glover

Alfred has lived and worked in his Cataumet studio on Cape Cod for the past 28 years. He is renowned for his inventive and brilliantly colored whimsical three dimensional works, furniture, lamps, mirrors and fine art sculptures. He welcomes commissions both private and corporate in various mediums including wood, assemblage and bronze. Mr. Glover is also available for workshops.

Artist Statement

Trained as a painter, I have incorporated two-dimensional elements of form, design and color in my three-dimensional wood sculpture. I am a collector, beachcomber and naturalist and these interests have inspired me to push the sculptural medium in my own unique direction. My creations are sometimes realistic, sometimes imaginary, but always whimsical. Both pink flamingos and stolid gray pelicans flank my studio door, with a purple tiger lurking around the corner. My love of animals and concern for the animal kingdom, all of which I consider endangered, is paramount to my visual expression. I hope people, by viewing my work, will become more conscious of the beauty and fragility of the world around us.
