Chris Gustin and Peter Marcus

OPENING RECEPTION:
Saturday, September 28 @ 4-6pm

ARTIST TALK:
Wednesday, October 9 @ 6 pm

Our upcoming exhibit will spotlight two artists whose works, though distinct, share intriguing commonalities. Chris Gustin, a ceramicist, and Peter Marcus, a printmaker, have each spent years honing their craft, achieving a profound mastery of their respective mediums. This deep expertise has enabled them to push the boundaries of their art, exploring new and uncharted territory. They have also built large tools to help them achieve their artistic goals. Peter Marcus has designed some of the biggest etching presses in the country, one of which is in his basement, and Chris Gustin built one of the largest and most unique wood-fired kilns in the country at his studio. Their common experience as professors also informs their artistic practice. On an aesthetic level, they share an interest in abstraction and the importance of form and composition.
