Lawrence Freeman is a southern California native born in Corona, Ca in 1982.  Freeman developed an interest in working with metal as a youth and began creating sculptural and functional works of art in 2007.  Inspired by the complex juxtaposition of the industrial Inland Empire where he resides and the eclectic art markets of Orange County, San Diego and Los Angeles, Freeman has created a novel body of work that encompasses the great traditions of American Modernist sculpture and the progressive cultural trends of southern California.  His works are included in private art collections all over the United States and internationally in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.

Each piece is individually crafted from a variety of metals with a degree of sensitivity to form reminiscent of early David Smith but without the preordained sense of relevance.  Freeman is not simply trying to imitate the great works of sculpture on display at the museum, but is engaged in a unique form a synthesis in which all manners of form, media and representation are fair game.  This process rings of post-modern endeavors, but Freeman chooses to bypass the heady and often times problematic issues of irony, self-flattery and cultural critique.  The result is a vibrant and accessible body of work that dances brilliantly along the line of the familiar and the future.
