The Healing and Wellness Art of Tuska Studio

With an undeniable passion for the human body, mind, and spirit, the power of Tuska's art communicates a passion and longing for clarity and the understanding of life and everything around it.

At the core of every being is its energy. The Chi. The life force. Tuska's infusion of this into his work allows the viewer to draw very real connections to their own body on both the spiritual and physical planes and place a significance on their own health and well-being.

The work of Tuska has been described as "frantically progressive" and "glowing with radiant energy." Every piece of work is filled with a spirit of constant learning and begs the viewer to respond to all that is around them.

"The things of the visual world are not made by material or technique alone. The human element must be present. One hand, one brain (the human expression and the ability to reason) combines with the material and process to form the born object."

John Tuska

Before his death, Tuska and his son Seth created Tuska Studio as a vehicle to distribute his gift to all who are moved by it. Tuska believed that art is for everyone and entrusted his son to guard the integrity of his work while allowing it to touch the world.

As the commercial beacon of Tuska's vision, Tuska Studio makes available the figure study screens, Illuminates, and all of its applications in various media as well as bronze reproductions of the Illumine figures. Limited edition reproductions of such works as Handstand, Lady on the Baroque Couch, Energy Source, and the first of five sketchbooks, The Zoo, are painstakingly given new life in the studio. Bronze, paper, plastic and metal reproductions of Tuska's fiberglass series of figures and the line of casts from more than 110 paper molds are also produced through Tuska Studio.
