Description:
James Surls (b.1943) has been carving and hacking, burning, peeling, and shaping pieces of wood into monumental and enigmatic sculptures for over 35 years, combining abstract forms with recognizable images. In the words of art critic Mark Thistlewaite, “[Surls's] work has been described as ritualistic, totemic, animistic, surrealistic, primitivistic, romantic, and mystic.”
This selection of Surls’s work will be on view in honor of the artist’s upcoming visit to LSU as part of the College of Art and Design’s annual Manship Lecture Series. His work is included in many important museum collections, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington D.C.; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Dallas Museum of Art; and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam.
