Frederick Kail | Monument Sotheby’s International Realty I Art Gallery Event
March 14, 2024 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Please join us on Thursday, March 14th from 4-6 pm at our Cross Keys Office & Gallery to enjoy the work of Frederick Kail.
A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 1959. Kail’s extensive and diverse career spans more than a half-century, as a sculptor, graphic designer, and fine arts painter.
Paintings
His impressionistic, tonal, and abstract paintings reveal the Artist’s nostalgic memories, compelling, and intriguing. Brilliantly, he captures cascading waterfalls, landscapes, to visions of fictitious places yet to be discovered.
Kail states, “I’ve always enjoyed capturing the enchanting moods of nature. I find it most challenging depicting what may otherwise be a nostalgic thought or simply a”moment in time”. A life of many unspoken stories live subtly behind many of my paintings. Mystique and poetic expressions have forever captured my imagination…unbridled mountain paths, unknown trails, and cascading water. An unknown dim flicker of light in the distant darkness can provoke compelling and mysterious intrigue, eluding my own explanation.”
Sculpture
Dynamic sports bronze sculptures have been the signature talent of Kail for over sixty years. His sculpture characteristically is “visually powerful’ exemplifying the sport it portrays. He believes…” Nothing great happens without passion, commitment, and attention to meticulous detail.” Among Kail’s many bronzes are two monumental statues of Hall of Fame sports icons, former Baltimore Colt, Johnny Unitas, and former Baltimore Raven, Ray Lewis. Both are showcased in front of Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium. Beginning in the early sixties, Frederick Kail has distinguished himself as the preeminent sculptor and designer in the sport of lacrosse. Among those sculptural trophies is the lacrosse’s highly prestigious “Tewaaraton Trophy” honoring both the male and female lacrosse player of the year.
Kail’s sculpture is part of the permanent collection of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, The National Art Museum of Sport, The Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Syracuse University, Johns Hopkins University, University of Louisville, Rutgers University, University of Virginia, and many private collectors throughout the country.
