Friday Night Recap
Last night I checked out the second installment of Road Agent’s “Ambush” series of mini one man shows that are taking place every Friday night throughout the summer. What a treat last night. Erick Swenson was the guest artist for the evening, and he had his latest sculpture on display…the Ne Plus Ultra piece. The last time I was able to see a Swenson piece was in the Ft. Worth Modern. Quite amazing.
Later, I made it over to Counter Culture at Mockingbird Station to check out Nevada Hill’s new work he had on display there. It was interesting to see how well his new images fit in with the clothing they were buried between. For shoppers, it will be a nice little surprise. For art viewers, it’s a little odd…but so is Nevada’s work…so it works.
Erick Swenson’s pieces are so captivating. His Untitled piece is somewhat haunted and so very realistic. The frozen creature looks so vulnerable and resigned. I can’t believe he is able to capture so much lifelike emotion in his creations.
