Matthew Placzek

Over the past 28 years, I've designed and installed numerous sculptures ranging from single figures cast in bronze to extensive, multi-media installations using steel, and acrylic coupled with color and natural light. I work closely with members of the commissioning entities to identify goals and objectives before the work begins. When the final design is approved, my assembled team works efficiently to engineer, fabricate and install the various forms of artwork. I am a strong proponent of working in tandem with the various clients to create great works of art for everyone to relate to.
