Kendall Hart

Professional sculptor, painter, illustrator, graphic and web designer, Kendall R. Hart’s artistic mindscape was shaped after seeing Frazetta’s Death Dealer. Inspired by fantasy and surrealism, but also by the exaggerated realism of Norman Rockwell, his greatest wish is to share his visions with the world both in 2D and 3D. Having obtained a BFA and studied graphic design, with many years of corporate art direction and freelance experience, he has cultivated a wide range of skills with an ability to combine both the traditional and contemporary. His art and design can be found in graphic novels, books, websites, toy and horror film concept art, America’s major haunt attractions, natural history museums, and private collections. This award-winning artist specializes in the sculpture of life-size creatures such as the touring show, Gardens of Myth. Whether it is a commission from a pop culture enthusiast or a prehistoric beast or one of the many oddities meandering in his mind, Mr. Hart delights in filling our world with carefully designed and detailed sculptures. He has created the world’s first life-size Kobold, which is the beginning of his personal collection of life-size creatures for traveling exhibition. When sculpting, he has made innovation of technique and use of material his study. And from live sculpting demonstrations to talking to a classroom full of students, he has made sharing his passion with others his practice. Kendall R. Hart grew up in Illinois in the 1980s. As a child, wanting to recreate his favorite characters, he experimented with art to the point of playing Frankenstein with his dinosaur figures to make his own Godzilla toys. He still lives in the Midwest in a lively household populated by animal, child, supporting wife, and his creations. You can find a gallery of his works at grimstonestudios.com
