Vista Studios in Columbia, SC, Offers Works by Jonathan Callicutt Vista Studios in Columbia, SC, will present the exhibit, Full Circle, featuring works by two dimensional mixed-media artist Jonathan Callicutt, on view in Gallery 80808, from Sept. 27 through Oct. 2, 2012. Receptions will be held on the evenings of Sept. 28 & 29. “My work is driven by a need to bring the iconic imagery of the past into the visual present. Inflected by both the Renaissance and Rauschenberg, pop culture and formal training, I look for a new translation of seemingly disparate styles in a modern dialect,” said Callicutt. Full Circle has been conceived as a tying together of key thematic elements of Callicutt’s life. A native of Columbia and exhibitor in 2011’s Florence Biennale, the artist hopes to join his experience with the birthplace of the Renaissance to this show in the city of his origins as an artist. The past connects to the present connects to the past, Full Circle. Callicutt trained at both the SC Governor’s School for the Arts and The University of Georgia’s BFA Printmaking programs. His complex and densely layered mixed media pieces have been exhibited in Atlanta, Richmond, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Florence, Italy. He currently lives and works in Decatur, GA. Vista Studios’ Gallery 80808 is a long standing venue, originally developed by the Columbia Development Corporation and the South Carolina Arts Commission.

A reception will be held on Sept. 13, from 5-8pm. Hunter was educated at the Kansas City Art Institute, Parsons School of Design, and the Yale University Norfolk program. She received her MFA in art from the University of California, Davis and has held residencies at the Cooper Union in New York and the Royal Academy of Art in London. Her work has won many awards and grants, including a Starr Foundation Fellowship and the Amitage Prize from Sotheby’s of London. Hunter is currently an Associate Professor and the Foundations Coordinator in the Department of Art at the University of South Carolina, Columbia. Work by Dawn Hunter Hunter says, “The work that I am creating for my sabbatical project explores the themes of Dusk and Dawn found in Giovanni Mannozzi’s artwork, Baroque and Rococo painting compositional styles, and contemporary fashion iconography. I explore personifications of Dusk and Dawn or Vice and Virtue by representing these female figures in my artwork. In these works I explore the composition, symbolism, and allegory of Baroque and Rococo painting that is often appropriated within contemporary fashion editorials.” TAYLOR TAYLOR TAYLOR Work by Dawn Hunter “I will explore the personification of Vice (greed, envy, wrath, lust, etc) by placing this personification in the context of a manicured garden,” says Hunter. “Vice will be presented in contest with Virtue (faith, fortitude, hope, charity, etc). This environment exists as an exterior setting or within the context of a lavish interior. The context of the enclosed garden or lavish interior is ideal for this theme because it is a space that reflects high culture and high culture practices.” “I am accomplishing my exploratory concerns by re-contextualizing fashion iconography in a series of drawings created in the contrast of saturation of red, grey, white, black, brown, and lavendar,” adds Hunter. “The contrast of saturation introduces a romantic softness to the content of the imagery, which is intended to continued on Page 17 The GALLERY at Nonnah’s Offering works by local & regional artists Serving Lunch M-F, 11:30am-2pm Evening hours: M-Th., 5-11pm Fri., 5pm-12:30am & Sat., 6pm-12:30am 803/779-9599 • www.nonnahs.com 928 Gervais Street • Columbia, SC

While she has shown The 701 Center for Contemporary Art in Columbia, SC, is presenting the exhibit, Torqued & Twisted: Bentwood Today, on view through Oct. 7, 2012. This exhibition explores the work of nine furniture makers and sculptors who use the technique of bending wood in innovative, unusual and eloquent ways. her work at McMaster on campus, we are proud to show her work in the main gallery at City Art where visitors not only from Columbia but also from throughout the United States and the world may see her vision.” For further information check our SC Commercial Gallery listings, contact Wendyth Wells at 803/252-3613 or visit (www.cityartonline.com). 701 Center for Contemporary Art in Columbia, SC, Offers Exhibition on the Art of Bending Wood Work by Matthias Pleissnig Wood bending is typically accomplished through one of two main approaches, steaming or laminating. Steaming requires the application of heat and moisture to allow the wood fibers to bend and slide against each other. The bent part is clamped to a form and allowed to cool and dry into a new configuration. Laminating involves using layers of wood cut thin enough to become flexible. The flexible strips are clamped against a form with adhesive between each layer until the adhesive cures, locking the laminations into the new configuration. Bentwood came to symbolize the modern movement in furniture design and it still offers a tempting territory for a range of aesthetic and formal explorations. The artists/ designers in this exhibition push the limits of wood bending to create extraordinary functional and sculptural works of art that are conceptually challenging and expand our understanding and expectations of wood as a material. The techniques used by these artists both borrow from and build upon various historical traditions. The work of Matthias Pliessnig draws from the rib and plank boatbuilding approach. The work by Clifton Monteith offers stellar examples of willow or “twig” bending. Mike Jarvi “unfolds” his furniture from within the plank, in a brilliant, almost origami-like motion, for which it is hard to find a precedent. Ultimately, each of these artists has refined and developed their own repertoire of techniques, which in turn results in a highly personal Vista Studios in Columbia, SC, will present the exhibit, Sculpture in Bloom, an unusual collaborative exhibition combining the sculpture of Sharon Collings Licata and the floral artistry of arrangers from Dimension in Art, on view in Gallery 80808 from Sept. 6 - 11, 2012. A reception will be held on Sept. 6, from 4-8pm. The sculptor, Sharon Collings Licata of Vista Studios has invited the talented floral designers of Dimension in Art to each create an artistic arrangement as their response to one of her sculptures. Dimension in Art is a group of 25 Nationally Accredited Flower Show Judges (National Garden Club, Work by Yuri Yobayashi visual aesthetic. The exhibition was organized by UNC- Asheville’s Center for Craft, Creativity & Design, located in Hendersonville, NC.

They meet monthly in Columbia to promote advanced creative expression through the study of experimentation in horticulture, floral design and allied arts. Artistic designs of the floral arrangement type are purposely a temporary creative expression. As such, this work can be considered in the same artistic vein as more the recognized installation or performance art. However, this has not usually been the case. This exhibition will give visitors a chance to enjoy an art form that is rarely seen in a gallery setting. It is especially fascinating given the juxtaposition of responding to stone sculpture which has a classical history. The designers are taking two different approaches to the sculptures. A number are doing an arrangement which incorporates the sculpture while others are creating a Janice Hull working with Whirling Dervish stand-alone design inspired by the stone as people approach Gallery 80808.
