NEW EXHIBITS:
ASU Art Faculty Exhibit
Once again the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts will host the faculty exhibit
of the art department of Angelo State University. The exhibit will feature
the work of faculty members Esteban Apodaca, Peggy Niño, Dr. Robert
Prestiano, John Vinklarek, Ralph Randall Hall, Ben Sum, and Andrew Awalt.
The museum sponsors this event every two years, and in 2006 the public will
be able to see how the artists works have continued to evolve, as they view
the claywork of Esteban Apodaca, the paintings of Peggy Nino, the photographs
of Dr. Prestiano, and the sculptures and prints of John Vinklarek. The work
of the newest members of the art department will include the two-dimensional
work of Ralph Randall Hall and Ben Sum as well as the photographs of Andrew
Awalt.
Sedrick Huckaby
A Love Supreme - The Work of Sedrick Huckaby
The San Angelo Art Museum is especially delighted to have on display the work
of contemporary Texas artist Sedrick Huckaby. Born in Fort Worth in 1975,
Huckaby has been creating some form of art since his childhood. In 1995 he
began his formal art studies at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth. After
a brief stay he transferred to Boston University, where he received a bachelor
of fine arts degree. He then earned a master of fine arts degree from Yale
University in New Haven, Connecticut.
For the past few years he has concentrated his efforts on a series of quilt
paintings. One of the series he created is a tribute to both of his Grandmothers
and a celebration of the African American quilting tradition. He used the
actual quilts sewn by family members as models for his paintings. These quilts
document significant events in his family history. According to Huckaby, the
paintings represent an artistic family legacy. The colorful, rhythmic abstracted
patterns come together like the musical notes in African American musician
John Coltrane's famous jazz composition, A Love Supreme, from which the painting
series acquired its name.
