Caroline Tabac-Shank
Sculptor
Featured Artist, "Heavy Metal"; June 21, 2011
Caroline Tabac Shank was born in Cannes, in the south of France, in 1970, her father an architech and her mother an interior designer. After moving to the United States in 2001, she studied metal sculpting at the Miami Art Center and began creating the first of her many unique pieces. She quickly found her own style and voice with the sleekness of the steel rod that she sometimes combines with stone and wood. She has a style that relieves the weight of steel and shows the sensitivity more suitable to the gentler side of a female welder. Her sculptures evoke a fresh and warm feeling not usually associated with the rigidity of steel.
Her art creates an abstract realism possessing a quiet sensitivity. She defines empty space by trapping it into open metal sculpture so everyone can find their own place within each individual work of art. Her creations, with wisps of the whimsical, are somehow seeking to overcome the daily mundane bits of life that surround us all.
In 2004, Caroline opened her Studio-Gallery at the Stutz Business Center in downtown Indianapolis, where her art is on display and where people can visit with the artist at work.
