LA PASO
Having come from an artistic family, Jim LaPaso started sculpture
at a very early age and learned to work with wood, building
furniture and carving. La Paso studied under the sculptor Orion Hargett in 1972 at the Hill Fine Art Center where he later taught
photography and wood sculpture. He also taught at Joliet Junior
College and it was during this time he decided to make a life
commitment to art. He has exhibited in Santa Fe and Taos, New
Mexico, New Orleans, Houston, Austin, and Wimberley, Texas.
I love kinetic
sculpture because of all the different mechanisms there are to
design on from Calder’s mobiles to George Ricky’s conical movement
and every thing in between, they give me a never ending pallet with
which to stretch my imagination. To me sculpture needs to be fun,
fun for me to design and build and fun for those who observe it."
