The second exhibit I saw at the Shemer Art Center was called "Soil to Sculpture: The Art of Clay".
There was just something about this fellow's smile that I found very uplifting. He was created by Kristy Winterbourne and the piece is called "Suppurate With Me".
I must admit that name threw me off. That is not a word I would use to describe this fellow with the sly smile.
This one is by the same artist and it's called "I Will Keep My Watchfull Eye OPEN".
This one I get because I can see the "watchful eye".
Kristy is very good at forming faces from her clay.
These last pieces were part of a tribute to an artist who passed away last year. Sandy Blain was a ceramic artist who supported the Shemer Art Center and was known to everyone who worked there. Her ceramic pieces were always available in the gift shop. I love that tall one in the back.
The pieces in the last photo are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI also like the pieces in the last picture. The first two, though no doubt requiring a lot of skill, are a little creepy -- especially with that "suppurate" title!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a lot of imagination and creativity to produce work like that.
ReplyDeleteI really like the last pieces too, Sharon. I love how she added all the textures to her work.
ReplyDeleteSo much wonderful talent there.
ReplyDeleteThe artist is very creative, My favourite is the last photo too.
ReplyDeleteI love the tall ceramic piece, too. The colors and textures give it a nice pop...good visual appeal.
