MOUNT VERNON, Ohio — Barry Gunderson’s “Water Works” art exhibit will be on display at Mount Vernon Nazarene University’s Schnormeier Gallery May 3 through June 23, 2017. A reception for the show will be held on Friday, May 5, from 6-9 p.m.
In this exhibition, artist Barry Gunderson imagines key moments of his life in relation to specific bodies of water, and the metaphors that arise from each. Walking along bridges reveal topographic patterns, colors and texture of the Mississippi River that are constant features in his work and become the source material for a series entitled “Currents.” In later sculptures he reflects upon hours spent in fishing boats on Minnesota lakes conversing with family and quietly awaiting the excitement of a catch. The narrative of water as a source of life and reflection upon life is fluid in each series.
Gunderson is a Professor of Art, Sculpture at Kenyon College, and is widely exhibited in Ohio and throughout the United States. Schnormeier Gallery is excited to present Gunderson’s work and celebrate his ongoing contributions to the field of visual art.
This exhibit and reception are open to the public. The show will be on display at Schnormeier Gallery weekdays from noon to 4:30 p.m.
