Come join us for the opening reception of Jonathan Brilliant's exhibit Weaving, Stacking and Staining on Thursday, January 19th. The reception is from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. and the exhibit will be on display until February 17. Brilliant has been onsite in Conway for several days actively working on his installation in the Rebecca Randall Bryan Art Gallery at Coastal Carolina University. He also found the time to talk with some students from Ocean Bay Elementary School, check out the pictures below. It has been exciting to see Brilliant's work take shape, you won't want to miss this show! You can find more information, videos, pictures and Brilliant's own blog at jonathanbrilliant.com.
"Central to all my work is an interest in patterning and mark-making fused with the use of pre- and post-consumer manufactured materials and the use of rhythm and repetition to create installations, objects, and works on paper. Running through my work is a real enthusiasm for the inherent qualities of a material and the extent to which I can exploit it for making art. Rather than relying solely on intuitive approaches I have a set of systems I apply to the materials at hand. These systems include, but are not limited to: weaving, welding, stacking, arranging, drumming, beating, rusting, drawing, photographing, looking at, and thinking about."
