Opening Reception: 5-7PM Thursday, July 11, 2024
This event is free to attend and open to the public. About the Exhibition: In the words of Jon Kamrath: This show features both my public sculptures that travel throughout the midwest in various rotating public shows, as well as concepts and prototypes for new public works. Historically, my work has ranged from large outdoor installations to smaller sculptures designed for indoor galleries. These two categories have necessitated different materials and construction techniques, resulting in distinct and unrelated styles. Over the years, I have alternated between these two types of work, appreciating each for its unique qualities but lacking a cohesive way to unify them. I am currently undergoing a significant shift in my artistic approach, focusing on scaling down my larger public pieces to create more intimate and accessible works for individual viewers. This requires modifications in construction techniques, surface treatments, and even composition of forms. While I have often created smaller maquettes or prototypes for large pieces in the past, I am now exploring how these smaller pieces can serve both as prototypes for larger concepts AND as finished sculptures, suitable for display in a home or garden, or along a public rotating sculpture trail. This exhibition is designed to showcase the evolution and creative process of my work, from initial concept sketches and maquettes to pedestal-sized prototypes and full-scale public sculptures. It also highlights the new direction my art is taking in terms of both form and scale. |
