| Fred Marchman, MFA, BFA, painter, sculptor, and printmaker, studied painting at the University of Alabama and sculpture at Tulane University.
His career includes a wide range of approaches to materials and themes both traditional and modern. While he regards himself as a Modern Artist and Southern Pop Artist, he also does work of a more easily accessible style, as seen in his decorative wildfowl carvings, mixed media landscapes, still life's and floral subjects. The artist uses a range of media including bronze, stone and wood in sculpture; printmaking in woodcuts, silkscreen, etchings and computer art; collage, acrylic painting and murals. My art has various facets or modalities. I consider myself a Southern Pop artist, yet I am as much influenced by ancient art as by modern painting and sculpture, folk art, esoteric, visionary and cosmic themes. I like to explore themes in various media - woodcuts, serigraphs, etching, acrylic on canvas, woodcarving, clay, found object sculpture… even poetry and prose. Themes like television, machines, the Confederacy, belles, flowers, kudzu, 50's cars; figure studies… whatever I feel inspired to do. I also do house portraits and carve an occasional duck decoy.
