Center for the Arts in Rock Hill, SC, Features Works by Bob Doster
The Center for the Arts in Rock Hill, SC, is presenting an exhibition of works by Bob Doster in the Dalton Gallery, on view through Feb. 12, 2007.
Doster has been an influential artist in both the education and commercial fields for more than 30 years. His monumental sculptures and functional artwork can be seen in galleries, museums, private collections and in public displays from the corporate collections of Saks Fifth Avenue and Founders Federal Credit Unions to the State Art Collection of the South Carolina Arts Commission.
A South Carolina native, Doster has owned and operated his studio and gallery, Backstreet Studios, since 1975. He has been commissioned to create works of art for cities, universities, businesses and organizations throughout the United States.
With the benefit of Doster's instruction, student creations can also be seen on the grounds of schools (grades prek-12) across South Carolina. As a resident artist, he has contributed to the enhancement of over 100,000 students' educations. When tight budgets made artist residencies unattainable, he welcomed students to his studio, gallery and garden to ensure their accessibility to the arts.
Doster has received numerous awards for artistic achievement and is actively involved in numerous cultural organizations. Doster was most recently awarded the 2006 Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Governor's Award for the Arts for Individual Artist - South Carolina's highest award for the arts.
Doster's unique style of metal design ranges from the whimsical feel of free floating steel in multicolored tables and accent pieces to the distinction of monumental sculpture. Perfect for the private collector's home or office as well as for public display, a Doster design reflects the bold individualism and impeccable taste of the owner.
