Using reclaimed metal and rebar from old industrial sites, Carol Boram-Hays adds cast concrete forms to the metal. Though made from what can be termed “ugly materials,” the work possesses an undeniable flow and beauty. It is unpolished work, yet mature and reflective “making peace with the post-industrial heritage.”
For 65 consecutive years the Springfield Museum of Art has showcased the talent of our Museum membership. This exciting exhibit includes work in ceramics, glass, painting, watercolor, mixed media, photography and sculpture. It is an opportunity for the community not only to exhibit their skills, but also to collect top quality work from local artists.
From the University of Kentucky Art Museum
Working with an 8×10 view camera, Robert May dedicated his life to photography. Included in the exhibition are his poignant earlier black and white images of people and landscapes, combining both an acute sense of formal organization and emotional edginess. Employing stark contrast of black and white he frees subjects from their familiar contexts. Robert’s later, distinct personal style of in-camera multiple, layered images produced a poetic, dreamy photograph. A master printer, he created sober and perlexing messages. This exhibition pays tribute to an artist dedicated to his work.
Plein air is a term derived from the French phrase en plein air, which literally means ‘in the open air.’ These artists, painting in the open air, are particularly interested in the influence of the changing light outdoors. The Museum is proud to host this exhibition of stunning works that capture the nuances of lights and shadows of landscapes during all seasons of the year. Truly a moving exhibit.
