Grey Magic at studio e

I have a new work, Forest Bearer, in the group exhibition Grey Magic at studio e gallery in Seattle. The show runs from December 9 through January 7 with an artists reception Saturday, December 10.  
From the gallery: 
A forest dense with honed beams and soft wings, Grey Magic invokes the natural elements of earth, air, fire and water. Each artist investigates realms that evoke a subtle rumbling inside the viewer to generate and radiate more light into the world.
All the works gathered by gallerist Dawna Holloway have something in common. Each one stands in a sacred circle casting a spell of contemporary sensuousness. Surrounded in grace and mystery, magic and potency, the art beckons us in. Come closer, linger, sniff and sip then swallow from the cauldron wafting grey potion. Grey Magic is a lure drawing us from the edges to enter the solidity of earth, the energy of fire, the fluidity of water and the expansiveness of air.
-Erin Shafkind
Artists: Brian Beck, Debra Broz, Emily Counts, Jarid del Deo, Stewart Easton, Joe Feddersen, Jessica Flores, Peter Gaucys, Fay Jones, Mark Laver, David Kearns, Ruth Robbins, Joe Shlichta, Timothy White Eagle

The Cowboys Made Me Cry at Swivel Gallery

I'm pleased to be included in "The Cowboys Made Me Cry", a horse-themed group exhibition including 16 artists at  Swivel Gallery in Saugerties, New York opening May 28.  I'll be showing two sculptures, Samuel and Gilbert, originally made for my installation "Horse Show" for my 2021 exhibition "Creature Comfort".  About the exhibit: "In their domestication, the horse has gone from a tool to a pillar of pop culture and reference. Throughout many layers of history they still yield curiosity. Why have they never left our side despite our ceaseless failures as a society, despite our cruelty...? This is the inquiry we open for creative investigation."

No End In Sight at Verge Center for the Arts

3/20/2022

1 Comment

 
I have two new works in No End In Sight at Verge Center for the Arts in Sacramento, CA. This group exhibition includes works by five ceramic artists: Debra Broz, Cathy Lu, Paolo Mentasti, Cristina Tufiño, and Jordan Wong. In his curatorial statement, Daniel Alejandro Trejo says: "Clay production is perpetually moving from a finite craft towards a pluralistic field with increasing popularity in the context of contemporary visual culture. This expansion of the material allows for an abundance of possibilities for visual artists that are conceptually driven. With the erosion of material hierarchies established by institutional entities, the artists presented in this exhibition cultivate a broad aesthetic. This is ongoing discourse, and a method of agitating purist ideologies of clay and how they fit into the canon of contemporary ceramics. The limitations of building methods used in utilitarian objects, and the desire to navigate sculpture through a ceramic lens is tempting. “No End in Sight,” is a cross-disciplinary inquiry into contemporary clay, and its relationship with developing works that reconcile intertwined individual biographies, memories and environmental impact." The exhibit is open from March 12 - May 8, 2022. More information here. Below is "Predator & Prey" one of the works I created for the show.

The 360 tour and installation photos of my recent exhibition, Creature Comfort, are up on the Track 16 gallery website here. To navigate through the 360 tour click the white circles on the floor to get close to the works, and move your mouse to move and look around. 
My work Hybrid: Dogwood Robin is featured in the new group exhibit Lynchland: Genre, Auteurism & a Fish in the Percolator at the Torrance Art Museum. This show features works that fall into the category “Lynchian” as defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as “juxtaposing surreal or sinister elements with mundane, everyday environments, and for using compelling visual images to emphasize a dreamlike quality of mystery or menace.” Curated by Steven Wolkoff and Tom Dunn, the show is on view through March 12.

Debra Broz: Creature Comfort Opens December 4

My solo exhibition, Creature Comfort, opens this Saturday, December 4 at Track 16 gallery in Los Angeles. If you're in the Los Angeles area I hope to see you there! 
About the exhibit:
Debra Broz’s new installation Creature Comfort features reconstructed ceramic figurines and found-object sculpture. Through the past year, Broz has been collecting, compiling and altering discarded furniture, unloved stuffed animals, and unwanted ceramic tchotchkes to create an abnormal world where misfits are held in high regard and ordinary, disregarded things become curiosities with confused and mysterious origins.  With humor and tenderness, Broz twists the world of consumer trash and turns it into an uncanny place that speaks to the psychology of object attachment, science fiction, kitsch, and the malleability of identity and truth. 

The exhibit will be on view through January 15. To preview the available work, visit the gallery website here.
