Chicago - based artist Ken Golub works with found objects and simple compositions of cast off "junk" to create sculptures for small urban spaces. Some would call his artwork "naive". But Golub is no sucker, and the work is informed by his academic training in landscape architecture as well as working in graphic arts. If you are a gallery or a dealer or just a collector contact Kenny.

About Me

My photo
alleylove
Ken Golub has a Bachelors of Landscape Architecture from the University of Illinois @ Urbana, and a Masters of Ed. from Northeastern Illinois University. He formerly played drums for The Outnumbered and Weird Summer in the 1980's. A midlife crisis has compelled him to create sculpture out of found objects. Ken lives in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, where he works on his turn of the century row house, and combs the alleys for treasure.
