New York artist's architecture-inspired exhibit opens with reception at ATELIER in Warsaw
WARSAW — The exhibit “domicilium: a place to dwell” opens with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. Feb. 8 and continues through March 22 at ATELIER, 104 E. Center St.
A solo show by New York City-area artist Michael Wolf, the show includes four freestanding sculptures, nine wall-hung relief pieces, and one painting with geometric forms and gilded arches rendered in wood, stone, metal and gold leaf.
Wolf’s architectural forms explore the meaning of physical space in people’s spiritual lives and abound with metaphors of the human experience, as alluded to in titles such as “The Roots That Clutch, “Glass Houses” and “Only the Wind’s Home.”
On exhibit: Two exhibits continue through March 3 at the Midwest Museum of American Art in Elkhart
The desire for shelter — both physically and psychologically — permeates his work.
Decidedly contemporary, Wolf’s art maintains an ongoing dialogue with history. It is rooted in classical architecture and pays homage to the Renaissance, as in the sculptor’s use of draped forms and natural pigments.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Thursdays and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
Admission is free.
