More & Then Some: Solor Exhibition with Russell Wrankle
October 6 - November 17, 2023
Artist Russell Wrankle
Russell Wrankle tells visual stories with the use of animal imagery. In his work, he wrestles with existential suggestions of life and death through the symbolism of the body and animals. His intensely saturated ceramic figures represent worldly pleasures' decadence, a vibrant energy source that is antithetical to death and dying. It is through embracing life and living that the pull of death and suffering is kept at a distance. Like Aesop's Fables, animals such as dogs, rabbits, crabs, monkeys, and frogs provide a vehicle to express the human condition. Animal imagery is the beginning of a deeper understanding of humanity.
