Yon Regan was born on the gulf coast of Texas and raised in the foothills of the Ozark mountains in Oklahoma. He first became aware of his interest in the arts in third grade, when an origami bird that could flap its wings truly set things in motion. Although his artistic education did not follow a traditional path, he took full advantage of what amounts to the classical art training that was available to him while attending University in central France. In 2013, after having focused on commissioned portrait works for many years, Yon began focusing on full-figure bronze sculpture. While Yon’s primary voice is in three-dimensional portrait and figurative works in bronze and clay, he also carves stone, creates found-object works and even designs and builds private homes, communities and retreat centers. Outside of art, Yon holds a private pilot’s license for high-performance aircraft with an aerobatics sign off and a charter certificate for large sailboats, he’s an active SCUBA diver, skier, certified mountaineering instructor and technical rock climber.

The relationship with our canine companions spans thousands of years and in that time, as much as they have learned to understand us, we have also learned to understand them. Dogs are invariably about being in the present moment. This bronze sculpture captures what is typically a dogs fleeting invitation to play. After all, what could be more important than that? In this case the dog is telling us, “You throw the frisbee that I have so conveniently placed in front of you and I will try to catch it and bring it back so we can do it again!”

Listen to the dog!

Using classical methods to create works in bronze and stone, I am drawn to create sculpture that reaches out to us in our first language, emotion. My sculpture captures fleeting moments that make me want to linger and savor those wordless spaces and just feel what is between the lines. Approaching each completed sculpture with an open heart, we can find new meaning with each visit.
