APPLETON, WIS. — The artistic mediums of sculpture, drawing and architecture highlight the new exhibition at Lawrence University’s Wriston Art Center galleries. The exhibition runs Nov. 9 – Dec. 16.
Sculptor Kurt Dyrhaug, associate professor of art at Lamar University, delivers the exhibition’s opening lecture Friday, Nov. 9 at 6 p.m. A reception will follow the address, which is free and open to the public.
Dyrhaug utilizes cast metal, wood construction and steel fabrication in his work, which will be exhibited in the Kohler Gallery. The exhibition also will include several drawings by Dyrhaug. He holds a bachelor of fine arts degree in printmaking from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and a master of fine arts in sculpture from the University of Minnesota.
The Hoffmaster Gallery will feature the drawings of Michael Hopkins. Distinguished by their detailed, abstract nature, his drawings are housed in the permanent collections of several museums.
“Fragments D’ Architecture Antique” will feature selected images of Greek and Roman architectural elements from a 19th-century portfolio by French artists at the Académie des Beaux Arts. Drawings of artifacts and famous sites such as the Acropolis and the Parthenon are part of this portfolio.
