John Chalke: Surface Tension Reception

John Chalke’s ‘clay paintings’ are conceptual ceramic works that dance between sculpture and painting. Inspired by the landscape of southwestern Alberta no less than its local clay, minerals, textures, and fissures, Chalke’s works are richly textured. Surface Tension draws on public and private collections from across Canada to explore the horses and cows, bottles and broken crockery, aerial views and archaeology of Chalke’s personal iconography. Reception to be held in Gallery Hall, Taylor Family Digital Library 5pm to 8pm Organized by Nickle Galleries, curated by Michele Hardy with catalogue essay by Amy Gogarty. Exhibit runs 15 October – 19 December 2015
Location:
Gallery Hall Taylor Family Digital Library
