After several decades positioned as a successful businessman and lawyer, George Tobolowsky transitioned to full-time artist and in less than 15 years, has produced over 550 sculptures that are permanently homed in just less than 60 public, private and museum collections. Tobolowsky makes abstract metal sculptures from steel and stainless steel “found objects” – or rather bulky industrial metal castoffs that he faithfully scours scrap yards and fabrication plants to find. Rarely altering these metal pieces, the Dallas native instead works to fit the individual scraps together – much like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle – into a balanced composition. “My sculptures are one part assemblage and one part recycling, which follows closely with the philosophy of another early artistic influence and mentor, Louise Nevelson,” Tobolowsky adds.
