Monoliths & Megaliths: Brad Mildrexler

by | Apr 2, 2013 | Uncategorized

“Monoliths & Megaliths”, opening
Friday, April 5th at 6pm. 

Brad Mildrexler has often been called an artist’s artist, relatively
unknown by the general public, but celebrated in the fine art community
for his experiments with high-fire glazes as a sort of ceramic
alchemist.  Mildrexler’s sculptural work is immediately recognizable for
its mass and surface texture. His investigations into the creative
process of manipulating extreme heat, earth, rock and sand,
strategically document his contributions to important developments in
contemporary ceramics.

The grand opening of “Brad Mildrexler: Monoliths and Megaliths” at the
Eutectic Gallery will begin at 6pm on April 5, 2013 as a part of the
First Friday inner eastside Gallery Crawl and will feature refreshments,
small bites and an opportunity to meet the artist. Open Thursday
through Sunday, and by appointment, “Brad Mildrexler: Monoliths and
Megaliths” will be displayed through the month of May.

Next Show:
Silvie Granatelli & David Crane

This
Friday is the opening of Virginia potters Silvie Granatelli and David
Crane’s show. Both are part of “16 Hands”, a group of eight artists
living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia. Even
though they come from the same community, their work is very different,
even down to the basics. Silvie’s work is gas fired porcelain, while
David’s pieces are salt fired stoneware. Yet their ceramic work
compliments each other side by side in our gallery and would look just
as great in your home.

Next Featured Artist:
David Eichelberger
David
Eichelberger, former student of both David Crane and Silvie Granatelli
at Virginia Polytechnic and State University, is the Featured Artist
this month. David currently resides in Nebraska where he received his
MFA and now creates his functional pottery. David uses visual rhythms
and exaggerated proportions to create work that is intended to make the
viewer pause. One of his goals is to quietly challenge our preconceived
notions and expectations.

Next New Work:
Nicole Aquillano

New
Work artist for March is Nicole Aquillano. Nicole showed here at AKAR
for the first time in 2012 and we couldn’t wait to get more work from
her. She recently graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with
an MFA in Ceramics and now lives and works in Boston. Nicole is
influenced by her longing of home which is evident in her porcelain
pieces. Each piece is intended for the table and has intricate black
slip inlay images of familiar architectural structures.

Silvie Granatelli and David Crane’s show opens on Friday,
March 29th, at 9:30 AM in the Iowa City gallery and online at 10:00 AM
CST. View the show at www.akardesign.com.

April Upcoming Show:
2013 Yunomi Invitational
It’s
that time of year again! April 19th is our 7th Annual Yunomi
Invitational! As always, each of our 200 artists sent 5 yunomi each.
What exactly is a yunomi you might ask? Pronounced “you know me” is a
teabowl without a handle, slightly taller than wide, and with a trimmed
foot. Even with these requirements, it’s amazing the variety of cups
that are sent out way. Because of the massive size of this show, it is
ONLINE ONLY, opening at 10:00 AM CST on April 19th. Like us on Facebook
for
“sneak peeks” of the show!
