Kevin Titzer and Gary Schott A Day at the Circus
For Houston's summer art festival ArtHouston, Goldesberry Gallery has brough together two artists whose sculptures remind us of a day at an old-fashioned circus. Gary Schott's wearable and sculptural "playthings" simulate the interaction with fantastic contraptions at amusement parks. Kevin Titzer's macabre little figures evote the feeling of fascination inspired by circus freaks.

Kenneth Baskin

20th Century Artifacts

March 27 – April 24, 2010

Kenneth Baskin’s 20th Century Artifacts find their inspiration in mechanical objects; these industrial roots are a starting point for explorations of form, motion, and humanity in the Technological Age. In their abstraction and familiarity, instability and balance, they are reminders of the conceptual sophistication that can inhabit the ceramic arts.

Marjorie Simon Plant Lives	and		Royce Ann Sline Interpretive Abstracts
February 20 - March 20, 2010 Opening February 20, 6-8pm
A studio jeweler, Marjorie Simon creates pieces which are formally playful, intelligently conceptual, and always aware of the body beneath. These vibrant works draw their modern colors from vitreous enamel. They grow from a tradition of botanical and floral forms in jewelry that dates back to antiquity, re-envisioned with a contemporary eye.		For FOTOFEST, Goldesberry Gallery welcomes local photographer Royce Ann Sline. Sline’s photographs, simultaneously mysterious and playful, explore our urban surroundings in surprising ways. These photographs turn their original subjects nearly unrecognizable, abstracting these everyday glimpses into plays of light, form, color, and motion. Somewhere between painting and photography, Sline reveals and hides the secrets in the view next door.

Holly Wilson

What Lies Beneath

January 16 - February 12, 2010

Opening January 16, 6-8 pm

“Boy’s View”, 2009, 4.5” x 4” x 4”, bronze, geode rock

Goldesberry Gallery is excited to enter into 2010 with a solo exhibition of the intimate bronze, mixed-media, and encaustic relief sculptures of Holly Wilson. Inspired by stories real and imaginary, Wilson’s spirit figures draw on the reality and legends of her Delaware and Cherokee background. Her cast of characters can stand alone or speak to each other, intertwining fragments of her nature, culture, and family. The result is figures that are delicate and engaging, quizzical and innocent, grounded and otherworldly. The opening will be held on Saturday, January 16 from 6 – 8 p.m., and the exhibition will continue through February 13.

Peter Masters

Protrusion Intrusion

October 24 - November 28, 2010

Untitled. Porcelain and slumped glass.

Goldesberry Gallery is proud to present Protrusion Intrusion, an exhibition of ceramic and glass sculpture by Peter Masters. Alluding to organic forms, Masters' manipulation of his surfaces quickly moves the objects he creates beyond anything found in the natural world. After laboriously handbuilding, and attaching, hundreds of surface protrusions to ceramic ovoid forms, he often covers the forms' openings with vibrantly colored slumped glass "veils." A sense of discovery, or revelation, then permeates the work as the viewer winds their way in, out, and over the conflicting hard and "soft" surfaces of each work.
