January 20 – February 17
Reception Friday, January 20, 7 – 9 pm
Paint Creek Center for the Arts presents a group show featuring works by four exceptional artists. Evelyn Bachorski-Bowman, Lynn Galbreath, Cristin Richard and Sioux Trujillo all work in different media, with distinctive, personal approaches to their respective materials.
Evelyn Bachorski-Bowman (Milford, MI) earned her Master of Fine Arts degree at Wayne State University. Over the course of her career, she has taught figurative sculpture, worked as a medical sculptor and as an automotive Chief Designer at Ford Motor Company. She now focuses full time on her studio art. Her sculpture series "Portraits of a Soul" is a group of emotive sculptures that uses raw, textured plaster and encaustic to depict the emotional state of her subject.
Lynn Galbreath (Bloomfield Hills, MI) teaches painting, drawing and design at Oakland University. She earned her Master of Fine Arts degree at Wayne State University. Lynn has been awarded a number of grants and awards, including a Creative Artist Grant from the Arts Foundation of Michigan and an Individual Artist Grant from Michigan Council for the Arts. She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally. For this show, Lynn will present drawings from two bodies of work. "Eccentric Objects" is an ongoing series of mixed media drawings on mylar, set within three dimensional constructions. "Talk" is a series that utilizes graphite, gold leaf and metallic markers on paper, with associated found objects. Both series reference humanitarian and social issues the artist is concerned with.
Cristin Richard (Detroit, MI) is a graduate of the College for Creative Studies. She recently completed a residency and solo show at La Découpe in Paris, France. She has exhibited her work extensively in solo and group shows. Cristin was nominated as a Kresge Eminent Artist in 2008. She works primarily with hog and sheep casings, creating wearable sculptures and installations that draw on her interest in fashion and the body. Her translucent dress sculptures manage a fine balance between tough and ethereal, eerie and graceful. In discussing her work, she says "the skin-like medium becomes a loaded metaphor which speaks to the human condition, while creating an underlying narrative on materialism and over indulgence."
Sioux Trujillo (Detroit, MI) earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the College for Creative Studies. She has worked in the Detroit art community for 13 years, as an artist and administrator. Sioux has received numerous awards and grants for her mixed media works, and was awarded the Joyce Fellowship for Emerging Leaders of Color. She is a 2009 Kresge Artist Fellow and the recipient of a Michigan Educational Grant. Sioux has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and is instrumental in bringing artists and communities together through her work as Assistant Director of community + public arts: Detroit. Her work for this show is a fiber based installation that incorporates multi-colored threads, felt, and fiber objects.
Please join us in celebrating these four accomplished artists at an opening reception on Friday, January 20th, 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
Admission to the opening and the exhibit are free and open to the public.
