The Sausalito Center for the Arts invites you to the sculptural exhibition "Finding the Form: Bay Area Sculpture.
The participating artists collectively engage in “a dialogue” about the essence of art, the conveyance of ideas via objects, and the presence or absence of aesthetic value. A major focus of the exhibition centers around impermanence, the value of handcrafting, and human fragility in a time of uncertainty. They explore correlations and contradictions arising from diverse conceptual backgrounds, uniting various media to explore similarity and contrast.
The artists also explore the profound connection between form and meaning, reminding us all of the limitless potential of human imagination. Through different approaches and diverse materials an unexpected aesthetic realm is imbued into each piece, giving it the form to tell a unique story. By bridging the disciplines of art, science, and environmental concerns, in the context of respecting the history of traditional sculpture, the ordinary is transformed into the extraordinary.
We are presenting the works of 36 artists, each weaving unique narratives through a diverse array of materials and techniques. From the timeless art of ceramics, where the intimacy of clay captures the essence of the handmade, to the simple yet intricate wood that speaks of nature's embrace and the impermanence of time and its traces, to the alchemy of metalsmithing where steel and bronze are expanding into shapes that defy expectations and gravity itself, each piece, a story in itself, becomes a vessel of expression through form.
Artist Reception: Saturday, September 16, 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM
