Fitzhugh Karol

Fitzhugh Karol is a sculptor best known for his large-scale public artworks in steel and wood, as well as ceramics. His forms are based on the silhouettes of actual and imagined landscapes, using slopes, steps and portals to create playful new landscapes with stories embedded within them. Born in New Hampshire in 1982, he is a graduate of Skidmore College, received his MFA from The Rhode Island School of Design and was apprentice to ceramic artist Toshiko Takaezu. Karol has exhibited nationally and internationally including at The Tang Teaching Museum, The LongHouse Reserve, New York City’s Prospect Park and Tappen Park, Socrates Sculpture Park, The Bartow-Pell Museum and Sculpture by the Sea Australia. He was a winner of the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge Public Art Program as well as the Uniqlo NYC Park Expressions Grant and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Process Space Residency. Fitzhugh lives in New York with his wife Lyndsay Caleo Karol and their two children. He is a co-founder and artist-in-residence at The Brooklyn Home Company.
