James Surls: The
Splendora Years, 1977 - 1997 is the artist's first major
scholarly exhibition in over twenty years and offers audiences a
rare opportunity to fully assess the depth and breadth of Surls'
important contribution to the field of contemporary sculpture. The
exhibition offers a survey of sculpture, wall works, drawings, and
prints, focusing on a twenty-year period in the career of this
remarkable artist. During this period, Surls' artwork and career
come together in a compelling story that interweaves the unique
aspects of a specific landscape, his personal story, and the
tumultuous nature of art practice in the latter half of the
twentieth century, into a mélange capable of reconciling
counterculture utopianism and the rigor of post-minimalist
sculptural approach.
