This month in the Trusler Gallery we have American Cheese: The Nick Geankoplis Show. This show is a blend of classical gallery mixed with installation. Nick blends his knowledge of utilitarian ceramics with the ideas of abstract ceramic sculpture. The result is a colorful display of the known figures that clay can be formed into alongside the more fluid idea that it can become more.
This is a wonderful presentation by Nick who is the current Head of the Ceramics Department at K-State University. He has taught and shown nationally and internationally. All of his works pull from the experiences he has had over the past two decades of exploration in the ceramic world.
On Display: May 2nd – June 1st | Free to the public
Artist Reception: May 3rd | 4:00-6:00pm
