Simon Mirsky is a self-taught artist residing
in Boca Raton, Florida.
His primary medium is copper, although he also sculpts in clay and much of
his earlier abstract works utilize a number of assorted found materials.
He is particularly fond of the Abstract Expressionists, Pop Artists, and Fluxus
Artists; and is especially inspired by Marcel Duchamp, Alexander Calder, Robert
Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Cy Twombley, Joseph Beuys, Yoko Ono (and almost
everyone else.)
Simon's sculptures are frequently featured at sponsored private exhibits and
public storefronts and shops. He appears regularly at the annual "Meet
Me Downtown - Boca Raton Festival", and his collection was recently exhibited
at the South Regional Public Library, the first artist ever to have work displayed
at the public library. His pieces have also been sought after by charities
and institutions for fundraising events.
When he isn't sculpting, Simon is a Speech-Language
Pathologist who helps patients with a variety of neurological disorders improve
their speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing functions.
He has also performed improvisational and
sketch comedy over the past ten years as a member of two particularly
renowned troupes;
Comics
Anonymous, which performed weekly
at the prestigious Jan McArt’s Dinner Theater and
Name
Change Pending, which performed regularly at
The New York Comedy Club, formerly BocaNuts.
