Best of Show features the 2017 Regional Juried Ceramics Competition winners Carol Cook and Paul A. McCoy. The exhibition will be open late this Friday for Alumni and Family Weekend!
The University of Dallas Regional Juried Ceramics Competition hosted biennially assembles contemporary ceramic artworks of the region, both functional and sculptural. The Best of Show winners are awarded solo exhibitions in the following academic year. We are proud to welcome artists Carol Cook and Paul A. McCoy back to exhibit with us this year.Carol Cook’s exhibition I Almost Didn’t Make It reveals some of the most painful, triumphant, and provocative human predicaments the artist has witnessed. Cook’s small ceramic figures struggle with physical limitations brought on my age and or disability. Some of her subjects struggle defiantly and others seem resigned or defeated. Cook’s witness of those who are often isolated, depressed, and neglected in our society is a powerful display of empathy and love.
Working Pots/Sacred Acts showcases hand-formed objects that serve our daily rituals. Ceramic artist Paul A. McCoy, entered into a period of introspection while making this new body of work, questioning who he was and what he valued. What he discovered was a desire for vessels that accompany shared conversation, celebration, and loss. After a life time of watching people live and die, McCoy has found the sacred in the everyday, in the object of the “serving” vessel. |

Late Night At the Gallery | Shape-shifter: Drawing from Observation
Trevor Bennett, Walter Early, Mayuko Ono Gray, Shelby Shadwell |
|
| Shape-shifter: Drawing from Observation will be open from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. this Friday for Alumni and Family Weekend! Come enjoy a late night at the gallery. |
|
| Shape-shifter: Drawing from Observation is a group exhibition featuring four artists who turn the common notion of observational drawing as “drawing what you see” on its head. In their works, everyday scenes and objects are observed, analyzed, recreated, transformed, and metamorphosed, creating pictures that present reality as uncommon. With a mix of fascination for the everyday and a vivid imagination that lead us out of it, Shape-shifter presents the ordinary in and extraordinary way. Read more about the exhibition here.
Exhibition Dates: September 28 to November 4, 2018
