Glenn Hinz
Copper Relief
Artist Bio
The copper relief sculptures of Glenn Hinz are beautiful examples of fine southwestern Sonoran art. The Native American cultures in this area have a traditional and exciting beauty, and nowhere is the soul and essence of southwestern art more striking than in the works of Glenn Hinz.
Glenn has been a full time professional artist for over 35 years, achieving his uniquely timeless sculptures by the use of various tooling and hammering techniques, many of which were developed by him. Glenn works on both sides of the metal, allowing the creation of many different dimensions and textures. He painstakingly colors selected areas using chemical oxidants and small watercolor brushes with a degree of control and enhanced effect that places his work on an incomparable level. Each piece is meticulously cleaned several times throughout the process and hand buffed to completion. To ensure the lasting quality of each piece, a minimum of two coats of metal lacquer is applied. In keeping with the quality of each piece of art, and to make it an extension of the art itself, all matting and framing is also done at Glenn’s studio
In addition to the work Glenn Hinz does for his following of private collectors, he has had numerous commissions for major hotels, shopping centers, banks, corporate offices and government building, including the Arizona Superior Court Building. Glenn’s work is always available at the following galleries:
