ML Snowden Art for Art's Sake
ML Snowden Exhibit in New Orleans
Saturday, October 1st 2011 – ML Snowden’s newest work was on display at Angela King Gallery on Royal St. at the corner on Bienville. The night of October 1st, during CAC's Art for Art's Sake, ML Snowden's latest work opened and showed through the month of October.
ML uses the working methods of Auguste Rodin and the Mercie studios of Paris. Her father, sculptor George Holburn Snowden, was mentored by Swiss sculptor Robert Eberhardt, a contemporary of Daniel Chester French and Saint Gaudens and a professional in the Rodin studios at the turn of the 19th century. M.L. Snowden spent 17 years as an apprentice to her father, who in 1990 bequeathed to her his collection of Auguste Rodin’s sculpting tools.
Her works, largely in lost wax-cast bronze, explore the monumental forces and energies of geological phenomena and human figuration. They are intended to convey power and movement through abstract and representational elements. She has created "chapters" of sculpture during her lifetime composed of more than 50 bronze sculptures, including: Terrestrial Forum, The Hydrosphere, The Atmosphere, Foundations of Synergy, Ascension of Elements, Creation’s Gate, and her newest collection, The Golden Group.
Her notable commissions include the Altar Angels in the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Angel Frieze, the Glendale Police Memorial, The Ira Kaufman Memorial at the Centinela Hospital Medical Center, and the Albert Gersten Memorial.
