MItchell • Giddings Fine Arts invites you to an exhibition of Eric Boyer's steel sculpture on Thursday, June 22, followed by an artist talk on Saturday, June 24. "An exhibit entitled 'Garden of Delights' seems guaranteed to conjure up images of Hieronymus Bosch's surreal masterpiece, and though my work in wire mesh isn't derivative thereof, it helps explain some of the juxtapositions I'm presenting. When I explain how I got from sculpting exclusively representational figures, to abstract, geometric forms, I start with a simplistic stated goal—I sought to learn more about the material. One needs to experiment in order to break down assumptions, old habits and safe patterns, to break one's own rules." Garden of Delights runs through July 30th. MGFA is proud to be a part of Vermont Arts 2017.
