PARTNERS
IN ART
Gene
and Rebecca Tobey
Rebecca
Tobey
For
twenty years, Gene and Rebecca Tobey worked together as
husband and wife and artistic partners. They are best known
for their creations of ceramic and bronze sculptures of
abstracted animal forms. In their art, bear, buffalo, elk
and other majestic animals stand in dynamic, timeless attitudes.
Their
work is a sculptural statement about the dominant personality
of the animal. Magic occurs as the sculptures’ surfaces
become canvases upon which the Tobeys have carved, drawn,
painted, and scratched graffito drawings of other animals,
human figures, scenes of starry night skies, mountain ranges
and symbols and geometric shapes, all on beautifully patinated
surfaces. In the pages of Partners in Art, Rebecca Tobey
shares her insights into their creative and collaborative
process and shows the creations she and Gene forged during
their two-decade partnership.
In
2006 Gene Tobey passed away after battling leukemia. Rebecca
Tobey, Santa Fe, New Mexico, continues their legacy of creation
and spirit.
