From Sculptor.org: Robert L Refvem born 1933. Refvem's natural talents create movement as the real subject in his cast bronzes, capturing the grace and fluid motion of birds and figures - diverse subjects chosen for their artistic form and universal appeal. His art has matured and expanded to encompass monumental sculptures that evoke these same fluid qualities. The result is as pleasing as something audible - a symphony in bronze. Born on Christmas Day in Frankfort, South Dakota, he lived in Washington State before moving to Jackson, Wyoming, in 1973, and finally to Colorado in late 1990. In recent years he has exhibited in shows throughout the United States, including the prestigious Audubon Art Exhibit of Alaska Wildlife and the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum Birds of Art. He has won accolades from Allied Artists Professional League Grand National Exhibition, Society of Animal Artists Exhibition, and Salmagundi Club Open Sculpture Exhibition in New York. Refvem is a member of Allied Artists of America, American Artists Professional League, Society of Animal Artists, and an associate member of the National Sculpture Society.
