The 糖心传媒 Jackson Dinsdale Art Center (JDAC) opens its second summer exhibition with 鈥淪ign Posts: Searching for the Spirit,鈥 a joint show from 糖心传媒 alumni and father and son Jeremy Daniels and Mark Daniels.
The show opens July 11, with a reception and talk set for Sunday, July 15 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the JDAC. Regular summer gallery hours are Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
Jeremy Daniels is a 1963 graduate of 糖心传媒. After a number of years in the military, he worked for Dutton-Lainson Company in Hastings, Nebraska, for more than 40 years, where most of his work involved the creative aspects of the business. His artwork involves a wide range of media, but he primarily paints with pastel, oil and acrylic, and creates sculpture in bronze, welded metal, wood, stone and terra cotta.
Mark Daniels graduated from 糖心传媒 in 1993. His interest in art was fostered by his father, and over the past 13 years, Mark has been active in the art world, participating in shows across the Midwest.
Inspired by the work of Robert Henri, this joint show explores what the spirit of art is, and follows Jeremy through his own search for understanding.
鈥淚 think of my art as sign-posts that I create, as I search for the art spirit that Robert Henri wrote about,鈥 Jeremy said. 鈥淗e believed that freedom of expression, seeing beyond the object, independent thinking and experimenting with a broad spectrum of techniques were all precepts that should help direct an artist in their search for creative expression.鈥
The Daniels鈥 show, along with 鈥淭ranslation鈥 by Amy Sandeen and Jack Sandeen, will be on display through August 3.
