Rik Sargent

Greenwood Village, Colorado

Rik Sargent left the university environment in 1972, moved home to Colorado and studied with the local masters creating realist art known as Western Art. The opportunity to study anatomy and form in foundries and private studios gave Rik the academic background he craved. During this period of study, Rik owned a successful landscaping company. The relationship between his interest in open space design and sculpture design formed a unique offering - creating sculpture that relates to its environment. Successful public art must combine these two elements equally. He says, “Great sculpture can be attractive anywhere; placed in the correct environment it becomes complete.”
