Walter May: Nothing New Here
Exhibition Opening: Saturday, June 19, 2:00 - 5:00 PM
Paul Kuhn Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new work by Calgary sculptor, Walter May. Charred wood, bentwood chairs, wood bowls, glass domes, old esoteric tools and wonderful found objects populate the gallery in witty and sophisticated arrangements.
May comments on the current group of work:
Almost all of the pieces in this exhibition are composed of older objects and materials that show indications of distress, damage or wear and tear as a result of many years of use.
In the studio, I set about repairing, refinishing and combining these components into works that allow for reflection on history, memory and aging. None the less, while appreciating that these objects speak of the past, we can simultaneously recognize that the thing we are looking at is all about the present.
Gallery goers should not miss the opportunity to see this terrific exhibition.
