The Butte College Art Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition by Mendocino County artist, Evan Hobart. The exhibition is on display now through February 28 in the Butte College Art Gallery. A closing reception will take place on Thursday, February 28, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Food and refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public.
Evan Hobart is a mixed media artist who primarily works in ceramic and flame-work glass while combining a variety of other materials into his sculptures. His inspiration comes from both nature and culture. He researches then conceptualizes topics such as ecology, archeology and paleontology in his complex and intriguing works. Evan’s sculptures and large-scale drawings exhibit an unusual combination of powerful imagery and delicate craftsmanship.
Evan describes his works as, “a platform to discuss the past, present and future, utilizing the intersection of humanity and nature to comment on modern day life. My work examines today’s world and elaborates on many of its facets such as global climate change, politics, war, religion, society, overdevelopment and possibly the eventual extinction. Unpleasant as it is to confront some of these issues, it is the work (obligation) of the artist and teacher, now and in the past, to do so - in a creative and thought-provoking way.”
Please join us in celebrating Evan Hobart and his collection of mixed media sculptures and drawings.
