A ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ connection runs through the βHonoring the Landβ exhibition featured at the Bostwick Art Design Initiative, located at Prospect and East 26th in Cleveland. Part of the Artists Archives of the Western Reserve traveling exhibition, the satellite gallery and the artists were recently featured in CoolCleveland.
Painter Joseph OβSickey and sculptor Brinsley Tyrrell both formerly taught at ΒιΆΉΣ°ΤΊ State, and now their work stands side by side at the gallery with work from alumnus and artist Lawrence Baker, a former student of OβSickey.
The shared past of these artists is represented in their work, according to CoolCleveland.
βFor OβSickey and Tyrrell this includes works that are inspired from their own personal connection to the land they inhabit,β the CoolCleveland article states. βFor Baker the location itself is not as personally important as the microcosms he depicts close-up views. These overlapping and diverging interpretations make for a compelling exhibition.β
The βHonoring the Landβ show opens Oct. 6 and will be on display through Dec. 2.
