The Flood Gallery Fine Art Center in
Asheville, NC, Features Works by Robert Winkler
The Flood Gallery Fine Art Center (Flood Gallery) in Asheville, NC, is proud to present, Lines: Sculpture by Robert Winkler, on view through June 22, 2008.
Winkler, co-founder of RiverSculpture Festival,
explores his ability to transform a geometric progression into
an emblem of the balance between conflicting forces where expansion
and growth are opposed to the comfortable and most familiar.
"Robert Winkler, an accomplished artist from New York City,
has come to Asheville bringing the inherent energy of the big
apple to share in the expansion of visual communication,"
says Sean "Jinx" Pace, Vice Chairman of the Board and
Co-founder of Flood Gallery Fine Art Center. "His work is
rhythmic, calming, and brings to mind the genetic and atomic relationships
that sustain life's connection to matter."
Winkler, drawn to Asheville by the fabled Black Mountain College,
utilizes an array of experiences that derive as much from his
travels in Europe, Africa and Latin America as from his time spent
at the Cleveland Institute of Art, Ohio State University and the
School of Visual Arts in New York. It is these combined experiences
that ultimately inform his distinct compositional use of volume,
balance and form - resembling objects of stop motion and translating
into what one critic described as "captured energy."
Flood Gallery is proud to host such an exciting exhibition and
looks forward to Robert and Arlene Winkler's third annual RiverSculpture
Festival, scheduled to open in Sept. 2008.
