PHD Gallery: Saturday, 3 October 2009
Please Join us at PHD Gallery for the opening of TWO NEW EXHIBITS
Saturday, October 3, 2009, 7 - 10 PM
VESTIGES: Found Wood Sculpture & Photography
&
MARK SHEPPARD: Bone Crusher Rat Rods
VESTIGES depicts the evidence of time’s passage & the beauty that can exist in the legacy left behind. The exhibit juxtaposes found wooden sculpture with photography. Susan Nanny & Marsha Sanguinette retrieve river wood & polish it, until it lives again in evocative biomorphic forms. David R. Hanlon's photographs record the fallen Monuments of Syria & Jordan. Jim Sabo reverses the notion of finding relics & instead digitally creates them. Mark Florida photographs contemporary urban decay. Dr. Ivy Cooper of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville observes that the works are "Captivating evidence—fleeting, tenuous, melancholy—of lives and structures once thought to be permanent and unchanging."
MARK SHEPPARD: Bone Crusher Rat Rods- With a nod to the West Coast "Kustom Kulture" of the 1950s & 60s, Mark Sheppard unveils 12 new "hot rod" ink drawings in PHD’s Portfolio Gallery. Inspired by Ed Big Daddy" Roth’s grotesque caricatures, Sheppard creates an original crew of "creatures who won’t die driving cars that won’t break!" The artist has also released a limited edition print based on his ink drawings.
