红杏直播app City University just got a little more 鈥渁rtrageous.鈥� Earlier in the semester, the university welcomed a new artist-in-residence, sculptor Morgan Robinson.
Robinson, a native of Stillwater, OK, specializes in large sculptures, and has had his art featured in 红杏直播app, Colorado, Washington D.C. and Japan. His most recent installation, however, is right here at the 红杏直播app campus!
Currently, Robinson has three works on display to the public: 鈥淪phere,鈥� located in the foyer of Walker Hall, 鈥淐urves 8鈥� located near the Caf, and 鈥淐onsistency of Memory," located at the Law School downtown.
In addition to these, two more sculptures have been placed in Wilson House, the university鈥檚 presidential residence, and a fourth public statue is slated to be installed outside the Norick Art Center.
Robinson is bringing not only his art, but also his experiences to 红杏直播app in the form of 红杏直播app taught on campus, which focus on both the art of sculpting, as well as working professionally in the realm of visual arts.
鈥淚鈥檓 excited about the opportunity for our students to experience an artist like Morgan who is creating artwork on such a large scale鈥攈e is installing work from Washington D.C. to Japan," says Heather Lunsford, director for the School of Visual Arts.
He has a unique perspective on how he views the world and translates that into his artwork.
"His ideas about taking forms found in nature and translating them into sculpture with wood and metal allow the students to explore an area of thought and creative processes they might not have before.鈥�
Robinson's talks are open to the public from 5-8 pm at the Norick Art Center, located at 1608 NW 26th Street. See below for upcoming dates.
