Nina Liu and Friends in Charleston,
SC, Features Works by Aggie Zed
Nina Liu and Friends in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibition Bestiary, featuring drawings and sculpture by Aggie Zed, on view from May 2 through June 30, 2008.
Zed spent her childhood on Sullivans Island, SC, graduated from the University of South Carolina with a BFA in painting and sculpture, and now lives in Virginia between Richmond and Charlottesville. Since 1990 Zed's regular exhibitions at Nina Liu and Friends have featured lush drawings and intriguing sculptures. Animals, whether they are recognizable domestic creatures or hybrids that recall the myths of antiquity, occur regularly in her work.
The exhibit includes a number of animal studies on paper and in clay. Images of sharks, cats, and horses are prevalent among these works in diverse media. Delicate in their detail and open to multiple interpretations, the drawings and sculptures in Bestiary invite the viewer to linger with them.
Zed has been the recipient of a Virginia Commission for the Arts Professional Fellowship for sculpture and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship for sculpture. She has exhibited her work across the nation in group and solo exhibitions at museums and galleries such as the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond; The Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC; the Sumter Gallery of Art in Sumter, SC; and Riverfront Studios in Schuylerville, NY.
