The Art of
Dale Mathis

The whirring of gears and pistons, the whimsy of fantasy, and the grit of the street kid made good all combine into the art of Dale Mathis. A giant of a man with the heart of a poet, the mind of a master watchmaker, and the imagination of a great surrealist
Dale Mathis’ mixed media, high relief sculptures and design objects defy the typical classifications of any art; they are the physical embodiment of the Steam Punk genre. The fantasy designs of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne coupled with an artist that Generation X and the African American community can be proud to call its own.

Dale Mathis’ sculptures and design objects are commanding, not just artistically, but physically. A “typical” Mathis work is mechanical, with hand carved moving gears, lit by neon, highly sculpted, often near 4’ long and 1’ deep, and weighing at 80lbs or more. Art imitates life, or in this case the 6’3”, 300lb Artist who creates them. Bigger is Better in the world of Dale Mathis.

Dale is featured in galleries throughout the United States. His work was seen on MTV’s The Real World: Las Vegas, HGTV’s: Crafters Coast to Coast, and features have been written in Playboy Magazine, the Las Vegas Review Journal, and international watch magazines in Europe and Latin America.
