NEW EXHIBITS @ WILLIAM BLIZZARD GALLERY AT SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE
January 23
- February 17, 2006
The William Blizard Gallery at Springfield College is exhibiting
Conway artist
Ann Taylor Gibson's recent work in a solo show called
"Invocations", January 23 - February 17, 2006.
The reception, which is open to the public, will be Sunday,
February 5, 2-4 pm, at the Gallery.
Gibson, a sculptor who has worked with found natural materials
for nearly 30 years, is exhibiting two series of altars using
bamboo and encaustic wax.
Also in the
Gallery,
Eleonora Lecei, "Affirming the Body", Jan 23- Feb. 17,
2006.
RECEPTION Feb.5, 2-4 PM
"In a society dominated by technological progress, mass
production and globalization, I choose to work with the
human figure image in traditional media. In my work I am
holding on to a lingering humanity. My work is apocalyptic,
yet hopeful. The most radical thing I can do in a capitalist
system that exploits bodily needs is to affirm the presence
of the body. My sculptures are not real people but they
affirm "real" space suggesting remnants of humanity.
-Eleonora Lecei
