In Dialogue with Steel, and exhibition of Albert Paley's work, one might find it hard to believe that he began his artistic career as a jeweler.  Paley was one of the major goldsmiths of the studio art movement in America.  Today, he is best known for his monumental sculpture.  Yet looking closely at these elaborate, impressive, and often site-specific installations, one sees the continuum of Paley's creativity; challenging metal of all types is his foundation.  The fluidity of molten metal is evident in the ribbons and decorative patterns so prevalent and identifiable in his designs.  Yet the hardness of steel is also apparent in the starkness of many of his larger abstract works, softened simply by the prominence of bright color and its ability to evoke strong emotions. 

In Reflections on Tradition, Jacobo de la Serna's micaceous pots are exquisite dichotomies.  While some expand the boundaries of this delicate clay in execution and concept, they remain fragile and delicate.  His masterful technical ability enhances traditional style and contemporary innovative designs.  The work is sensitive and sensual, refined and magical and it reveals the insightful artistry of the man himself.

Grounds For Sculpture is also pleased to present the 2010 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Awards, which represents the ninth consecutive year of an ongoing partnership with the International Sculpture Center.  In order to support, encourage, and recognize the work of young sculptors, the International Sculpture Center presents this award competition each year to its member colleges and universities.  This year 11 Winners and 10 Honorable Mentions were selected from 441 nominees.  The distinguished jury included three jurors: David McFadden, Curator of the Museum of Arts and Design, New York, NY; Willie Cole, a New Jersey sculptor; and Jeanne Jaffe, Professor and Chair of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA.

The Winter Season Exhibition 2010 (January 24 - April 18, 2010) features the annual Focus on Sculpture 2010 - a juried exhibition of amateur photographers on display in the Education Gallery.  This year's distinguished juror, Andrea Baldeck, is a black and white fine-art photographer.  Also exhibiting in the Domestic Arts Building is glass artist Flo Perkins, well known for her representations of every day objects in glass.  Her originality, sensibility, and imagination have led to her to become a well respected artist and innovator in teh field of hot glass.
