Tanya Ragir
Before achieving fame for her figurative sculptures, Los Angeles-based artist Tanya Ragir was one of the top mannequin sculptors in the United States. Drawing on her background in modern dance, ballet and jazz, Ragir evokes movement and expression in her art while weaving a complex narrative on the relationships between the female form and nature.
Ragir was born in Los Angeles. She graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1976 where she studied in the foundry program and in classes with sculptors Fred Hunnicutt and Jack Zajac. Ragir later worked under a ceramist, developing her talent for molding with clay.
She excelled at making clay mannequins and opened her own business, starting with a children’s line before expanding to adult-size pieces. Her business achieved acclaim throughout the industry. Sculpting had become her craft; her art became an expansion into female forms and their relationships with the land.
Formed in clay, her works are cast in a range of materials such as bronze, aluminum, stainless steel and resin. Each piece expresses emotion and vulnerability. Ragir has exhibited her work in museums and galleries across the United States and around the world, including at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in 2014 and in 2016 at the bG Gallery in Santa Monica. She holds an elected position within the National Sculpture Society and the Southern California Women’s Caucus for Art.

About the artist: Hugh Townley (1923-2008), the sculptor and printmaker, taught and made art from 1952 until his death on February 1, 2008. He worked primarily in wood, but also made monumental outdoor works in concrete. His sculptures -- reliefs and free-standing works -- are intricate constructions of interlocking shapes cut on a band-saw from many woods, both common and exotic. He used a recurring iconography of imaginative, often whimsical, forms, drawn from nature and his wide studies of Native American culture and Eastern spiritualism. The patterns of the saw, combined with the grain of the wood and natural imperfections, are integral to the design. On many later reliefs he used vibrant color, creating exuberantly original but instantly recognizable sculpture. His latest work was in plywood. He found unseen possibilities in its construction, exploiting the intricacy of design, of which he said: "The layering of the plywood with its black glue lines and rhythmical repeat patterns, plus its physical versatilities, glue-ability and handsome flatness intrigue me." In 1955, when he was 32, Townley's work was shown in MOMA's Penthouse Gallery, for New Talent. A critic wrote: "Wherever he has lived, Townley has exhibited. He is completely original, taking no slant from any other artist. The viewer is bound to respect his independence, admire his love of material, especially wood, and praise his excellent workmanship. Hugh Townley was born in Lafayette, Indiana and grew up in Madison, Wisconsin. At 19, he enlisted in the U.S. Army and served in Europe. On his return in 1945, he enrolled in the Fine Arts program at the University of Wisconsin. One teacher suggested that he study with Ossip Zadkine in Paris, which he did. That experience, and his subsequent year working for the Marshall Plan in The Hague, gave him a valuable breadth of experience in the post-World War II art...Category
