Inspired by the beauty and eloquence of the human form, Edward Eyth spent decades refining his skills in figurative drawing while pursuing a successful design career.  Recently his creative energies have been dedicated exclusively to the pursuit of figurative sculpture & drawing.  Recognition and praise for Eyth’s figurative works have been immediate and extensive.  His high standards, sophistication of technique and mastery of anatomy and proportion have been paralleled to the works of Robert Graham and Frederick Hart.  

Eyth earned acknowledgement for artistic skills as early as elementary school.  He was educated at the prestigious Art Center College of Design, Los Angeles, where he was awarded a scholarship for outstanding academic achievement and graduated with distinction.  He holds degrees in visual communications and industrial design.  Three years after graduation Eyth was recruited by The Art Center College and returned to teach an advanced visual communications course.  In 1989 he was honored with the college’s “Great Teacher Award.” 

Through the course of his distinguished artistic career he has collaborated with such celebrated filmmakers as Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola.  He has consulted on projects with the Smithsonian Institution, Universal Studios, Paramount Studios, Columbia Pictures and for the Walt Disney and Jim Henson Companies.

In 1992 Eyth moved to New York City, where he instructed a design course at the Fashion Institute of Technology.  He has lectured at various colleges and educational institutions including Parson’s School of Design – New York, the School of Visual Arts – New York, UCLA, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh; for the Society of Illustrators, and the Puppetry Guild of Los Angeles.

While living in New York Eyth made frequent visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he studied old master paintings and sculptures, incessantly sketching the displayed works of Carpeaux, Rodin, Veyrier, and Houdon along with collections of various ethnic works.  Further research included the Louvre, the Musée Rodin and other prominent museums of Europe.  This immersion in the world of artistic masters reinforced Eyth’s passion for figurative art and prompted his transition to pursuing a full time career in drawing and sculpture.

In 2002 he participated in the Masters Workshops studying with celebrated artist Richard MacDonald.  Eyth’s work has been exhibited in the Carmel Arts Festival and he is currently one of 110 finalists selected from an international field of 2,400 sculptors for inclusion in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Landscape Sculpture Exhibition.

He currently resides in Central California with his wife Jennifer and their son Aidan.
