Brookgreen Gardens
in Murrells Inlet, SC, Offers New Sculpture Exhibits
Two new sculpture exhibitions have opened in the in-door galleries at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, SC. Entitled, Little People: Images of Childhood and 2-D Designs for 3-D Art: Drawings, Paintings, and Prints by Sculptors, both exhibits will be on view through Mar. 31, 2009.
Little People: Images of Childhood will present the endearing, exasperating, and sometimes comical images of children as seen through the eyes of sculptors. Works are by historic and contemporary artists.
2-D Designs for 3-D Art: Drawings, Paintings, and Prints by Sculptors will provide a look at two-dimensional art by three-dimensional artists. Some, such as Donald De Lue, Elliot Offner, Leonda Finke, and Janice Mauro, create drawings or prints of their ideas before sculpting them. Others, including Cecil Howard, Sigmund Abeles and Sandy Scott, are known for their paintings and etchings separate from their work as sculptors. The paintings, drawings, and prints on exhibit are from the Brookgreen collection as well as borrowed from artists and collectors.
