Larry Kagan is a sculptor who uses steel, light and cast shadow as a creative medium. A long time Professor of Art at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, he maintains studios in Troy and in New York City. He's represented by OK Harris art gallery in New York City.
"Eventually, shadows became more interesting to Kagan than the objects themselves. As he works, he considers the steel a sort of three-dimensional encryption. The forms he creates appear random, but contain hidden information that becomes recognizable pictures in shadow."
- Salvage Magazine
"In a way, they're not really drawing about shadow; they're really about encrypting form and information, in a new way of capturing and storing information. It all sounds terribly, kind of, academic when you talk about it this way. Obviously, people understand it much better if you say, 'These things are about making interesting drawings using shadows', people get it."
