The Nanaimo Art Gallery is honoured to display the ceramic work of Salt
Spring Island based artist Charles Breth.

This exhibition entitled "Body of Evidence" features figurative sculptures
from over the last three years by this exceptional artist. The sculptures
are created by hand using age old techniques such as coil, slab and pinch
pot processes and are fired with a terra sigillata solution of very fine
clay particles most prominently used by the Greeks and Romans of antiquity.

Breth regards his work as addressing " the contemporary human dilemma of
retaining autonomy and dignity under conditions of instability,
fragmentation and displacement. These representations seek a way among the
pitfalls of caricature, coy realism, sentiments of beauty, pornographic
sensationalism and many other forms of the grotesque that maneuver for
attention in contemporary culture and society."

The public is invited to view this fascinating body of work from May 13th to
August 20th 2011 at the campus gallery. 

The opening commences on Friday, May 13th from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. The
artist will be in attendance.

Artists Talk Thursday May 19, 12:00 - 1:00pm.
