Red Grooms: He is widely recognized for his whimsical sculptural paradoxes and paintings, especially with urban and circus themes. His artwork is vast as he works with several mediums, playing with whatever works the best for each image. Grooms who studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville, and the New School of Social Research in New York was also a student of Abstract Expressionist Hans Hoffman. Once he got to New York, Grooms worked with Jim Dine, Allan Kaprow, and Claes Oldenburg. It was in New York that his popularity in the pageantry of the circus expanded, something that has intrigued him throughout his life. In 1999, he completed his largest project, which was The Tennessee Foxtrot Carousel in full scale in his home town of Nashville's Riverfront Park near the Grand Ole Opry House. The piece is decorated with scenes from Nashville's history and includes sculpted seats, painted dioramas and heroic figures such as Andrew Jackson and Davey Crockett.
