Visual Art

Ethan Fielder’s exhibition lives at an intersection between surrealism and the sublime through narrative sculpture. In his concentrated studio practice, he produces colorful sculptures made from memories in both natural and manufactured landscapes. These objects exist as portals into worlds where familiar objects hold space for dreaming and exploration. Israel Davis curates his exhibition around the “devil-may-care” spirit of skateboarding and the heathenistic ethos of a rough-and-tumble youth. His work explores inherent risk as manifest through observation and action. The physical action of fragmentation coalesces with collaged imagery in guise of poetic surveillance. 7278227872
