Laszlo Gyorki

About me:

My name is Laszlo Gyorki. I consider myself a multi-media sculptor because that is the broadest category that encompasses my interests. The scale of some of my previous installations would overwhelm most galleries. Much of my best work has ended up on the stage as a scenic sculptor. I have even built a giant mobile that filled the glass pyramid of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame MuseumSometimes the scale is modest, such as landing a UFO at a school in Toledo. Even my exploits in costuming are often sculptural; turning someone into a giant carrot, or a lobster. I have recently returned to Cleveland OH and am looking forward to setting up a cooperative retail gallery. Over the years,I have tried to escape the arts at least a half dozen times; running in the opposite direction into Welding, electronics, and even engineering. All that accomplished was evermore elaborate sculptural installations. I've done some cool "work for hire" over the years, including Installations, Set designs, and Gala benefits.For over 20 years, all of my creative endeavours have been sustained by working in a field that combines art and robotics (of a sort).What keeps the roof over my head is computerized embroidery. It's one of those invisible industries that surrounds us and most people don't know how it happens. I take logos and artwork, and turn them into a program that runs on a computerized embroidery machine. I've sewn on hats, jackets, shirts and all manner of garments.
