Opening Reception: Saturday, Feb. 12, 1-5 p.m. Pollock Gallery at SMU.
This exhibition honors the teaching and artistic legacy of Emeritus Professor of Sculpture James Sullivan. Sullivan joined the SMU faculty in 1988 and retired in 2020. He served as chair of the Division of Art for 16 years and received multiple University awards for teaching. He also served as a visiting artist at universities around the globe and was a visiting critic in drawing at the Yale School of Architecture for 18 years. He has been featured in more than 50 group and solo exhibitions regionally and internationally, from the Meadows Museum in Dallas to Amerika Haus in Berlin, and his work is included in museum, corporate and private collections in the U.S. and abroad. His sculpture is centered on the body, portraying the figurative image as well as using objects to create abstractions of bodily forms, spaces and experiences. Much of his recent work has been developed in digital form, using CAD systems and 3-D printing as well as industrial fabrication.
