Gallery, , , , , , , , , ,

October 4th – 26th · Artist Reception, Oct. 4th 5-6 pm

Echoes of the Plains consists of mixed media sculptures that serve as visual memoirs, capturing abstract images of farmland and agricultural practices. Rooted from David’s autobiographical memories from his upbringing in rural Kansas, his sculptures reflect his experiences and environment.

David has been an advocate for art education – serving as a Kansas Artist-in-Education and teaching art in Emporia schools. In retirement, he continues to share his passion for ceramics through teaching classes at the Emporia Art Center and promoting art in the community.

American Cheese: The Nick Geankoplis Show

Uncategorized, , , , , , , ,

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.
