河流与生物群
curated by artist Naomi Teppich, focuses on bringing awareness to the beauty?和脆弱性?我们国家的?年代的河流, particularly the northeast quadrant including the Delaware, 哈德逊, 和 the Susquehanna rivers.
Aritsts in the community selected by Teppich have a special relationship with ?这条河? 和, 通过他们的艺术品, react strongly to the bombardment of this beloved ecosystem 和 our environment in general. While not designed to be a political show, 河流与生物群 allows the conscience of these artists to bring public awareness to this serious issue.
十八岁的艺术家, 包括画家, 版画复制匠, 和雕塑家, were selected for this exhibit, which was first exhibited with the Catskill Art Society in Livingston Manor, NY.
Industrial Primitive: 鲍勃Hakun
鲍勃Hakun's collection of sculpture 和 wall pieces can be described as "post - industrial dystopian" vignettes into unchartered surreal visions.这太拗口了, 是的, but there is something that is disturbing but also comforting in these sometimes familiar objects re-directed 和 reincarnated into another life form.
This exhibit highlights the found-object, anthropomorphic sculptures made from found 和 distressed objects.
?I collect old, discarded items: some natural like bones or wood; some man made-like wheels or wire. I look for old things that show the graphic effects of aging: the beauty 和 harshness of the breaking down over time of all things. I look for things that are burnt, broken, rusty, crushed, bent, 和 stained. These things have an implied history or narrative. The final art 工作 will tell a story or convey a message, but the interpretation of that message is up to the viewer. I do want the art to have an emotional presence ? but refined aesthetics are secondary to the context."? 鲍勃Hakun
A 1976 Graduate of Kutztown University with a BFA in painting. Hakun 工作ed for a in the toy industry, designing Halloween costumes 和 masks, 和 designing graphics for silk-screen printing. For the past 20 years he has 工作ed in the printing industry as a computer prepress specialist 和 a digital graphic designer.
