Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A composer in wood, Leroy Setziol created lyrical sculpture that honors the beauty of a material strongly identified with the Northwest. The black walnut, teak, fir, and other woods he employed enhanced his complex gridded compositions, bringing them to life. A self-taught, intuitive worker, Setziol visualized his complex carvings using the grid as an armature to frame imaginative shapes. Throughout his career, his sculpture ranged from intimate works to large-scale public commissions. The largest work on display is an elegant, teak, two-panel wall relief from 1991. Twenty-three works are on view, including free-standing sculpture, totems, and a variety of wall reliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setziol\u2019s sculpture gained greater recognition with Portland\u2019s architectural community in 1964 when he was invited by Northwest Regionalist architect John Storrs to carve a series of large-scale relief panels for Salishan Lodge in Gleneden Beach, Oregon. Recognized for the commission\u2019s fine quality and compatibility with Modernist architecture, Setziol subsequently was invited by many of Oregon\u2019s leading architects to collaborate on commissioned projects. His work has been exhibited widely around the Northwest, and Setziol received several awards during his lifetime, notably the Portland AIA Artist of the Year Award and the Oregon Governor\u2019s Award for the Arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibition organized in honor of the 100th year of Leroy Setziol\u2019s birth and curated by Bonnie Laing-Malcolmson, The Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Curator of Northwest Art.<\/em><\/p>","excerpt":"","slug":"leroy-setziol","image":{"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol.jpeg","id":9082,"extension":"jpeg","width":793,"height":860,"filesize":193734,"sizes":{"medium":{"width":645,"height":700,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":138332,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol-645x700.jpeg"},"thumbnail":{"width":270,"height":270,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":27648,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol-270x270.jpeg"},"medium_large":{"width":768,"height":833,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":183219,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol-768x833.jpeg"},"small":{"width":375,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":64773,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol-375x500.jpeg"},"card":{"width":793,"height":565,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":138276,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol-793x565.jpeg"},"post":{"width":793,"height":500,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":120866,"url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Setziol-793x500.jpeg"}}},"all_day":false,"start_date":"2015-09-05 08:00:00","start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"09","day":"05","hour":"08","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"end_date":"2016-10-30 17:00:00","end_date_details":{"year":"2016","month":"10","day":"30","hour":"17","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_start_date":"2015-09-05 15:00:00","utc_start_date_details":{"year":"2015","month":"09","day":"05","hour":"15","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"utc_end_date":"2016-10-31 00:00:00","utc_end_date_details":{"year":"2016","month":"10","day":"31","hour":"00","minutes":"00","seconds":"00"},"timezone":"America\/Vancouver","timezone_abbr":"","cost":"","cost_details":{"currency_symbol":"$","currency_code":"USD","currency_position":"prefix","values":[]},"website":"","show_map":false,"show_map_link":false,"hide_from_listings":false,"sticky":false,"featured":false,"categories":[{"name":"Exhibitions","slug":"exhibitions","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":17,"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","description":"","parent":0,"count":201,"filter":"raw","id":17,"urls":{"self":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories\/17","collection":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/wp-json\/tribe\/events\/v1\/categories"}}],"tags":[],"venue":{"id":290,"author":"1","status":"publish","date":"2023-03-28 10:28:29","date_utc":"2023-03-28 17:28:29","modified":"2024-03-07 10:38:06","modified_utc":"2024-03-07 18:38:06","url":"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/venue\/portland-art-museum\/","venue":"Portland Art Museum","description":"
