“Letting go and reaching out. Pose, both ancient and timeless. Composed within
the limits that set us free.” - Mitch Shea
Biography:
Mitch Shea is an American sculptor and draftsman born in Augusta, Georgia
1987. He attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California from
2007-2010 where he studied Illustration, Metalworking, and worked on a variety of
public monuments in the Bay Area. In 2011 he relocated to Florence, Italy and
began studying Sculpture and Drawing at The Florence Academy of Art.
During his study he was awarded numerous accolades and as a student began
teaching in 2013. Mitch is now Director of the Sculpture Program at The Florence
Academy of Art. He also holds regular artist residencies in Greece and Cyprus.
His works accommodate a multitude of priorities; namely, a deep commitment to
observing and engaging a subject in order to produce works that contain some of
the gravity and physicality of the natural world. He is keen to work in environments
which are composed of striations of historical epochs that draw from both Eastern
and Western cultural milieus. His work may be found in private collections
throughout the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
