August Solo Show featuring Christopher Wagner - Reclaimed; Carved & Cast

This show focuses on the human experience relating to and engaging with animals. The animals depicted have either benefited from human expansion or have recently been the subject of their efforts to save them. Masked figures are trying to look at the world through animal eyes, stacked totemic sculptures highlight the absurdity of these relationships, and solo animal carvings are all animals that the artist has engaged with.

The title “Reclaimed; Carved & Cast” is in reference to all the material the show is crafter from. Every piece is made from reclaimed material whether wood, bronze, or aluminum. Many of the sculptures and panels are carved straight from blocks of wood that show evidence of their past lives. The cast sculptures contain raw material melted down from salvaged metal.

The First Friday opening reception for this show will take place at Arts on Main (6580 Main Street, Gloucester VA 23061) on Friday, August 1st from 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM. Live music will be provided by Chris Smith. Light bites will be served and beer + wine will be available for purchase. As a special treat, the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society will be attending First Friday with adoptable dogs from the shelter! You won’t want to miss it!

The show will be on display at Arts on Main until Saturday, August 30th. The gallery is open Wednesday - Saturday from 12-5pm.

Many thanks to our August Sponsor, Mary Jane Zander!
