Brad Konick earned a bachelor's degree from the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at Arizona State University.  In the final months of his undergraduate studies, the scent of cut wood and molten metal enticed him into the sculpture department.  There, the hands-on contact with materials, and liberation from the technical constraints of architecture, allowed Konick to explore his designs in a freer and more intimate medium.  He then went on to Post-baccalaureate sculpture studies  at ASU and to the graduate program at Michigan's Cranbrook Academy of Art.

Konick has just completed a twenty-foot high metal sculpture: a public art commission for a new Light Rail station in Mesa.  He recently has a solo exhibition of new work at the Sylvia Plotkin Judaica Museum inside of Beth Israel Synagogue in Scottsdale.

 In 2005 he exibitied a steel sculpture at the Phoenix Art Museum as recipient of a prestigious Contemporary Forum's Artist Grant.  He also received critical acclaim in the Arizona Republic and New Times for exhibitions at 515 Artspace, located in downtown Phoenix - where he currently works at the Jackson Street Studios.

The forms and materials of Konick's sculpture take their inspiration from the physical world, both natural and man-made.  Though he was lured away from his architectural training, much of his work still suggests enclosures.  Whether miniature or monumental, Konick's sculptures create in the viewer a desire to inhabit the space within, to bask in the nurturing energies embodied there, and emerge renewed or even transformed.  His work harkens back to the original emergence and transformation; the genesis of life out of the unformed void.  With the Creation as a starting point, Konick explores the nature of creation in many guises, in both an organic and artistic sense.  He shapes spaces that suggest wombs, eggs, hives and pods, evoking the union of masculine and feminine by constructing these graceful vessels out of rigid, angular metal and wood.

These industrial materials are assembled with a geometric precision that heightens our awareness of the creative act; taking separate pieces and making them into something whole.  Repetition of elements reflects ongoing natural cycles of growth that produce and sustain life.  Konick sees a parallel between this physical development of all organisms and the uniquely human capacity for spirtual evolution.
