Two new exhibits that are certainly worth the time are on the Art Gallery of Burlington calendar.
Paul Mathieu has tuned into the reputation the gallery has for a magnificent ceramics collection. His work is exceptional.
The China Syndrome – work by Paul Mathieu
Paul Mathieu – The China Syndrome will be at the AGB from February 12, 2016 – April 10, 2016 in the Lee-Chin Family Gallery
A public reception takes place Thursday February 11, 6pm-8pm; the Artist Walk & Talk will be at 6:30 pm. Paul Mathieu will be in attendance
Internationally renowned ceramist and author Paul Mathieu has spent the last decade periodically returning to Jingdezhen, China to oversee the production of his ceramic works.
This exhibition traces his explorations ranging from the relationship between two and three dimensional form, to the portrayal of gender roles and gay identity. The artist’s role from conception to production is examined from both the artist’s and craft person’s perspective.
Dust, a ceramic installation by Grace Eun Mi Lee opened on the 16th of January and will run until April 17, 2016 at the Perry Gallery
The public reception is on Thursday February 11, 6pm-8pm
Dust – suspended from the ceiling to create cloud-like mists. On display at the Perry Gallery
Grace Eun Mi Lee is known for her ceramic installations. Numerous small pieces, often referencing the hidden world of microbes, are suspended from the ceiling to create cloud-like mists. On closer examination, these mists reveal the hidden world that surrounds us in our everyday lives. We are made to question the visible world and compare it to the unseen reality that goes on around us on a daily bases.
