ARTalk: Figurative Narratives with Sculptor Justin Perlman

Figurative Narratives: Materials and Techniques of Sculpture with Sculptor Justin Perlman, Sunday, April 13, 2025 @ 2 pm | Main Program Room

Sculptor Justin Perlman grew up marveling at archetypal art works in the Metropolitan Museum of Art with a desire to learn how to make everything he saw.  After studying Art & Anthropology at Hampshire College, a professor told him that the skills he wanted to master lay beyond the walls of  academia.  What followed was a journey through The Art Students League of New York to a village of marble carving artisans in Italy and then to a bronze foundry in the Midwest. Perlman now resides in Bethlehem, CT where he has built a new woodland studio to create sculptures of diverse sizes and materials. His sculptures are in several site-specific settings as well as in national and international collections. He teaches sculpture at the Silvermine Art Center in New Canaan, CT.
