Arleo chose ten sculptors from across the nation to exhibit along with her on the theme of the figure. The exhibition runs September 8 through October 6, with an opening reception on Saturday, September 8 from 6-8pm.
Admission is free.
Each artist brings to the exhibition a unique way of expressing the human form, creating a well-rounded representation of what is being done in the field of contemporary figurative ceramic sculpture. This two day hands-on workshop centers around the sculptural expression of the complex range of human experience. Rather than striving for anatomical correctness, participants will look at how gesture, metaphor, distortion, and texture can be used to create evocative pieces. Slides of contemporary figurative clay sculpture will be shown, as well as demonstrations on handbuilding and problem solving techniques. Adrian Arleo is a full time studio artist living in Lolo, Montana.
