Animal Dreams

Jan 16 – Mar 7
Opening Reception:
Sat, Jan 16, 5-8PM
News release (pdf)

Adu Gindy, painting
Aaron Sober, ceramics
Our featured artists both incorporate images of animals into their work – playful, mystical, disconcerting, peaceful, and thought-provoking. Minneapolis painter Adu Gindy traces her use of animal imagery to her childhood in WWII Europe, which “made me look inside myself and resort to the escapism of my imagination for contentment.” Gindy’s dreamlike works veer between the abstract and the figurative, conveying a sense of childlike innocence and spontaneity. Formerly an assistant professor at the University of MN, Duluth School of Fine Art, Gindy’s work is included in numerous permanent collections including the Minnesota Museum of American Art, the Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum, and the Walker Art Center.

Potter Aaron Sober uses surface decoration to infuse his functional, salt-fired pots with grace and humor – strange animals and thorny plants abound, bucktooth rabbits sit on the sides of mugs, mysterious ravens wrap around jars. Aaron graduated from Macalester College with a degree in Studio Art in 2001, and then spent several years studying at Penland School of Crafts in North Carolina, and creating his own work at the Northern Clay Center in Minnesota. Recently relocated to Maine, we are delighted to bring Aaron and his work back to MN for this show.
