Dore Capitani lives life
with the same energy that sizzles through his work, and he
feels extremely fortunate to have been given the gift of creativity
that allows him to bend, twist, and push molten metal into
his unique vision of art. His sculptures, mainly constructed
of various metals, blend sharp edges with fluid motion reflecting
his many years as a mechanical engineer in large manufacturing
venues. Many of his pieces are reminiscent of the machinery
he designed and built come to life. The words most often used
to describe his work are "bold" and "strong."
Dore's work has been shown in the prestigious Chicago
Merchandise Mart and in numerous galleries in the Chicago
area. His work can be seen in many galleries in Idyllwild,
Niemi Sculpure Gallery
in Wisconsin, and at his workshop/sculpture-garden
in Mountain Center. His functional sculptures and furniture
grace hundreds of the finest homes in the North Shore area
of Chicago, La Jolla and the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area
as well as nearby Idyllwild. Dore has numerous awards to his
credit including Art
Alliance of Idyllwild Artist of the Year in 2004. |
