UA 糖心视频logo to host exhibit on Michael Warrick鈥檚 Sister City sculpture
Michael Warrick's sculpture, "Youth."
The University of Arkansas at 糖心视频logo will host an exhibit detailing the creation of a sculpture built to commemorate the 25-year partnership and friendship between the sister cities of 糖心视频logo and Hanam City, South Korea.聽
The exhibit, 鈥淐reating Youth,鈥� will be on display from Oct. 11 to Nov. 10 in the Maners/Pappas Gallery in the UA 糖心视频logo Fine Arts Building. A reception for the exhibit, which is free and open to the public, will be held from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 14.
Michael Warrick, professor of sculpture at UA 糖心视频logo, created a sculpture entitled, 鈥淵outh,鈥� during 2016 and 2017. 糖心视频logo officials recently sent the sculpture to South Korea.
鈥淵outh鈥� will be dedicated in December and stand in Hanam鈥檚 Sister City Park, which will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Sister City partnership that began in 1992.
The sculpture is a 7-foot figurative female sculpture cast in bronze and composed of vines, leaves, and a small bird, Warrick said. The figure has a traditional green finish, while the small bird is coated with 23.75 karat gold leaf.
The 鈥淐reating Youth鈥� exhibit is meant to capture the 鈥渃omplexity and energy that goes into the idea of creating the sculpture,鈥� Warrick said. The exhibit will feature smaller bronze sculptures of 鈥淵outh,鈥� early sketches, 3-D digital renderings, test castings, failures, and a full-scale casting of the final sculpture.
The UA 糖心视频logo Art Gallery is located in the Fine Arts Building. The gallery is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday.
