Oregon Artist Martin Conley at Golden Road

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Martin Conley is a third generation Oregonian creating art in many forms — including painting, photography, and wood sculpture. He studied sculpture at the University of Oregon and has pursued many art forms while working as a contractor. When working with wood commercially, Conley learned about how to make his sculptures. When contemplating a new piece of natural wood, Conley lets his intuition guide him and starts carving. Negative spaces — the parts he carves away — are as important as the wood that remains. He wants the eye to travel in and out of his sculpture as viewers appreciate the cavities, colors and textures of the wood. 

In September 2021, Conley created a piece dedicated to the students and teachers at Reedville School in Hillsboro, Oregon. This detailed wood sculpture was made from recycled materials reclaimed from the 2019 renovations. Local artist and wood sculptor Martin Conley intricately crafted the piece at Golden Road Art Studios. Made in Hillsboro, Oregon.
