Upcoming at AKAR: Judith Duff and Ron Meyers

Two
potters; often working in familiar methods to educate us in how we blur
the lines of sculptor and potter; artist and craftsman, enduringly
prolific and memorably recognizable. Ron Meyers, a Georgia artist and
educator, has invited close friend, Judith Duff, to accompany him this
month at AKAR Gallery. While both artists employ the wood and salt kilns
as a means by which to finish their work, Duff’s work can be described
as more sculptural, multi-surfaced and angular while Meyers’ selection
is often functional, illustrative and at times confrontational. With
carved and painted anamorphic depictions on the vessels, Meyers appeals
to the animalistic creativity in us all. Duff relies more on subtle
shapes,
colors and lines to create introspective and composed work. Opening
September 28th, we are delighted to have these artists return to our
gallery with New Work by Lauren Gallaspy.
