MONROE - Bruce Howdle, Mineral Point, will have an exhibit titled "Nature Within Human Habitat," in the Frehner Gallery at the Monroe Arts Center, 1315 11th St., from Friday through Jan. 30.
Howdle is an artist and senior lecturer of art at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. In 2013, Howdle created this series consisting of eleven ceramic murals to reflect the world that humans have made and the consequences it has for all life. Eight of the murals will be on exhibit.
Previously, the murals had been exhibited with other artists' works in five separate exhibits located throughout Wisconsin in March, under the sanction of the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts conference, which was based in Milwaukee. The works reflected his vision of NCECA's theme, "Perceptions of the Material World."
Howdle has been a ceramic sculptor in Mineral Point since finishing an MFA degree at Arizona State University in 1976. In the past 38 years, he has produced and installed major works of freestanding or wall-mounted sculpture in both indoor and outdoor settings in several states. He has been teaching at UW-Platteville since 2005.
An opening reception is scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday in Frehner Gallery. A brief artist gallery talk begins at 5:30 p.m. The free event is open to the public.
The exhibit has been made possible by MAC Corporate Underwriter: Colony Brands Inc., and Season Media Underwriters Monroe Publishing LLC and Big Radio, with additional support from Michael and Shelley Muranyi, Kevin and Chris Callahan and Lee and Chris Knuteson.
