About the Item
Randy Shull is an artist who works fluidly between a variety of
mediums, including furniture design, spatial design, painting, and
landscape design. He is highly acclaimed for his rich and sensual use
of color and space. Awarded a North Carolina Arts Council Fellowship
in 1994, an NEA Southern Arts Federation grant in 1995, and a master
residency at Oregon School of Arts & Crafts in Portland, Randy has
also had four solo shows in New York in the past decade. His work is
included in a number of important museum collections including The
Brooklyn Museum; The High Museum in Atlanta; The Renwick Museum of
American Art in Washington, D.C.; The Mint Museum of Craft & Design in
Charlotte; Racine Museum of Art; The Gregg Museum of Art & Design, and
Museum of Art and Design in New York. Randy stays involved in the
local community by serving on the board of the Asheville Art Museum.
Randy maintains studios in Asheville, NC and Merida, Mexico.
In 2008 and 2009 Randy’s work was the subject of a twenty-year
retrospective that opened on January 24th at the Gregg Museum of Art &
Design at NC State, and traveled to the San Francisco Museum of Craft
& Design as well as The Bellview Art Museum and The Ogden Museum of
Southern Art. Reviews of the exhibition can be found in the Raleigh
News and Observer and the San Francisco Chronicle.
The craft revival in the 1920s brought a renewed interest in
traditional native crafts and folk art at places like the John C.
Campbell Folk School and Penland School of Crafts. Using pocket
knives, carvers transformed scraps of wood into dolls and toys for
their children. As tourism developed, carving became an important
source of income, and successful carving centers developed in
Cherokee, Asheville, Tryon and Brasstown.
Seaborn Bradley was known for making war clubs, tomahawks and walking
sticks; Will West Long and his son Allen made masks used in native
celebrations; and Hayes Lossiah crafted traditional Cherokee blowguns,
darts, bows and arrows. Goingback Chiltoskey and Amanda Crowe became
influential teachers for the Cherokee community. Eleanor Vance and
Charlotte Yale, coming to N.C. most likely as missionaries,
established Biltmore Estate Industries in Asheville in 1905, initially
focusing their production on carving and later adding weaving. In
1915, the pair moved south of Asheville to establish Tryon Toy-Makers
and Wood-Carvers. In the 1930s, several folk art wood carvers were known in and around Brasstown, home of the John C. Campbell Folk School, including
Floyd Laney, William Julius “W. J.” Martin, who carved traditional
animals, and influential carving teacher Parker Fisher. Other carvers,
like Herman and Mabel Estes, made mostly functional items including
serving platters. “Brasstown Carvers” was established in the 1950s,
known for its small, highly polished animals and nativity scene
figures. Today, the Southern Highlands Craft Guild and Piedmont
Craftsmen give visibility to the finest wood artists in the state. The
aptly named Woody family, now in its seventh generation of crafting
traditional wooden rockers and chairs by hand without nails or glue,
maintains its business in Spruce Pine while the work of high-end
Asheville furniture artists like Randy Shull and Brent Skidmore
appears in venues like the Mint Museum Uptown in Charlotte. Renowned
Saluda woodturner Stoney Lamar creates art with a lathe, and Bynum
outsider artist Clyde Jones invents “critters” with his chainsaw. All
have earned international recognition. A blurring of lines between
craft and visual art also is evident today. Casar resident Bob Trotman
began his career as a furniture maker but now fashions compelling
sculpture using wood as his medium. Chapel Hill sculptor Patrick
Dougherty has craft at the core of his work, weaving saplings to
create monumental sculpture.

- Polychrome Bronze Organic Sculpture Polich Tallix Art Foundry Sleeping BeautyBy Robert KushnerLocated in Surfside, FLRobert Kushner, born in 1949, in California, lives in New York, and is a painter and sculptor. He gained attention in the early seventies as a performance artist, using food, fabric and nudity. Kushner was associated with the Pattern and Decoration movement and used fabric collage in large-scale, bold paintings of the figure. Since 1987 he has used flowers as the subject of his paintings, more recently adding a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to his repertoire. Kushner's use of rich color harmonies and bold, fluid drawing, mark his belief in the importance of beauty in our lives. Kushner draws from a unique range of influences, including Islamic and European textiles, Henri Matisse, Georgia O'Keeffe, Charles Demuth, Pierre Bonnard, Tawaraya Sotatsu, Ito Jakuchu...Category

- Book Sculpture Paper Mache Enamel Painting Jean Lowe Please Don't Eat DaisyBy Jean LoweLocated in Surfside, FLJean Lowe (American, b. 1960) Book-form sculpture, 2004 "Please Don't Eat Daisy", Enamel painted papier-mache Hand signed and dated verso Dimensions 10.5"h x 12.75"w x 4"d This title is well suited for vegetarians, vegans and plant based diets! Jean Lowe is a California-based painter and sculptor. She creates installations and sculptural works of enamel-painted papier-mâché. Lowe earned a B.A. from UC Berkeley in 1983. She earned her MFA from UC San Diego in 1988. She was a lecturer at UC San Diego from 1992 to 2008. Lowe's installations are handmade, labor intensive and visually playful installations, with papier-mâché furnishings and objects juxtaposed to site specific wall painting. Lowe says of her installations, "Intellectually I am driven by an interest in challenging a status quo anthropocentric world view and formally interested in marrying that content to a 'domestic' decorative esthetic." Many of Lowe's installations have quoted 18th and 19th century French decoration, rife with romanticized images of animals and nature and imbued with a sense of class and privilege. Into this fabric she substitutes or integrate corresponding contemporary attitudes--both about our treatment of the land and its other inhabitants and our attitudes regarding decoration: the wrestling match between high and low art. Wry humor. Lowe creates sculptural representations of everyday objects using papier-mâché and enamel paint. She is known for her papier-mâché books and has created a large collection of them with evocative and amusing titles. Her work Books and Ideas in an Age of Anxiety comprises a collection of them in display cases and is situated in Byers Hall at UCSF as part of the J. Michael Bishop Art Collection at Mission Bay. Among the book titles are: Accelerated Zen Buddhism: How to Win at the Hereafter. Anxiety: The Unexploited Weight Loss Tool. Artistic Mammography. The Eco-Tourist's Guide to Las Vegas. A Guide to Box Wines. Hot Buttered Cop Porn. How to Dominate Women. Militant Feminist Veganism for All. The Triumph of Minimalism and other such titles. Exhibitions Lowe has exhibited in both New York and Los Angeles. She participated in the 1994 exhibition Bad Girls West. Curated by Marcia Tucker, Bad Girls was a humorous and transgressive look at gender and feminist issues. It featured work from artist across many media, including photo, painting, sculpture, performance, film, comics, advertisements, writings and more.

He worked on perhaps the largest sculpture in the world, the Four Corners Project, with installations at Greenland, Africa, Irian Jaya (New Guinea) and Easter Island. His sculptures are located all over the state of Michigan, but perhaps his most recognizable is Transcending, a blend of bronze, steel and granite that acknowledges the contributions of Detroit’s laborers and skilled tradespeople. David Barr is the founder of Michigan Legacy Art Park. David’s career as an artist, instructor, author and global thinker has crossed borders around the world, bringing people and ideas together. Over fifty years as a sculptor, David created a body of work that includes hundreds of wall-hanging structurist reliefs, sculptures for public spaces (such as Transcending in Hart Plaza, Detroit done with Sergio De Giusti), works for private collections, massive global projects (such as The Four Corners Project) and Michigan Legacy Art Park. David’s studio was in Detroit for fifteen years until he realized he needed nature as a source of inspiration. In 1977 he bought 4 acres of land in rural Oakland County (now Novi) and in 1979 built his home, a contemporary structure that has become the centerpiece of his own art park. His work is included in the collection of outdoor sculptures at The Dennos Museum Center along with Clement Meadmore, Hanna Stiebel...Category
