Paul Granlund, whose sculptures are universally appreciated for their graceful movement, human forms and interactions between father and son, mother and baby, Phoenix (boy taken to almost flight), Constellation (human figures as though a globe) many featuring parents, lovers and saints excluding imagery, meaning, and interconnectedness. Through his sculptures Paul sings the stories of the universe expanding, generations evolving, and unending endings and beginnings. This Groveland Gallery collection includes numerous smaller model sized sculptures created during the process of creating the larger public sized sculptures. Several are for display and many are for purchase. Paul Granlund’s largest bronze works grace Westminster Church in downtown Minneapolis, The University of Minnesota Arboretum, Como Zoo and Conservatory and Gustavus Adolphus College as well as installed within Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney and more! His wife recounts Paul’s favorite phrase – “There is something that I’ve got to get out of the barrel” (of clay!) This exhibition is fortunate to also display and sell six of Paul Granlund’s original concept framed pencil drawings.

Special talk on April 4th, 3pm “Reflections” by son Gregory Granlund and he provides wonderful stories of his father Paul Granlund, his inspirations, technique and more!
