Current Exhibition
January 25 - April 13, 2014
Barbara Hunzicker and Hal Stevens, Curators
Dublin, Ohio ceramics artist Tim Frederich has been collecting the work of other internationally renowned potters for 45 years. Both functional and sculptural objects–some inspired by nature, others by ancient forms–have been selected for this exhibition. There are wheel thrown, carved, slab and pinch built pieces of stoneware clay and porcelain. Surfaces are sculpted and incised, salt glazed or fired in wood filled pits and wood, gas and raku kilns. Innovative glazes have produced finishes that range from matte to glossy to exquisite crystals, creating one-of-a-kind surfaces of breathtaking diversity.

Joseph O’Sickey’s vibrant paintings are expressions of his passion for lush gardens; the landscapes of France, Maine and Ohio; the raw energy of the zoo’s big cats; the thrills of the circus and for the greatest love of his life, his beautiful wife, Algesa.

In a lifetime of teaching, he encouraged children to draw and emphasized the importance of drawing to art students at Western Reserve, Kent State and The Ohio State University where he formed a lasting friendship with his colleague, Roy Lichtenstein.
