Kevin Trobaugh proudly makes his debut appearance inside the state of Mississippi with his 2016 aluminum creation, Tipo 333. A 30-plus year sheet metal worker and welder, this retired O’Fallon, Illinois resident saw beauty in the shapes and metals of his craft. Yearning to take the experienced fabrication skills of his day trade to a more creative and challenging artform, Trobaugh found sculpture to be a perfectly rewarding outlet. His public art journey began in 1991 and he explored both free-standing and kinetic pieces, with permanent placements in private homes, gardens and municipal parks. “I am honored to have this piece be displayed at The Grammy Museum Mississippi,” Trobaugh shared. “There is certainly unintended musical hints and references in this piece, and I have been asked do I play the harp.” Laughing, he finished, “The answer is no.”
