David Hostetler: Unabridged
Sculptures in Wood
June 26 – September 4, 2011
David Hostetler’s graceful modern goddesses appear to glide through the galleries of the elegant 19th-century Reese-Peters House.
Among this country’s foremost figurative sculptors, the Athens artist and teacher is enamored with wood - a living material - with its feel, color and shapeability. Since the 1960s, the American Woman, sensual, soft and nurturing has been his sculptural obsession.
While focusing on the women, this exhibition takes a rare look back at the artist’s early work in ceramics, his prints and his paintings.
