Curt Mattson

Joy, excitement, and intensity define Curt Mattson’s passion for life and sculpture. His deep love of horses and horsemanship drives his work, while movement, texture, mass, and negative space bring each piece to life.

Mattson’s sculptures have earned numerous awards, including the James Bowie Award from Night of Artists, the Elliott Gantz Award from the National Sculpture Society, the Cyrus Dalin Award from Quest for the West at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art, Best in Show at the Phippen Museum Western Art Show & Sale, and the Silver Medal for Sculpture from the Allied Artists of America.

Before beginning a sculpture, Mattson conducts extensive research to ensure complete familiarity with his subject, whether contemporary or historical. His artistic training allows him to move beyond mere representation, uniting compositional elements to achieve a level of artistic excellence rarely found in sculpture.

Mattson produces his sculptures in limited editions, typically no more than twenty pieces per work, making ownership a rare privilege. Each sculpture reflects the true spirit of the West, capturing its authenticity and vitality.
