Darryl Lauster: Recreating
An installation of objects by Houston artist and art
history instructor Darryl Lauster. The haunting resin
and porcelain objects reflect the artist’s extensive
research of 18th and 19th century American decorative
arts, as well as his study of 20th century Modernists
such as Alexander Calder, Constantin Brancusi and David
Smith. Lauster’s commemorative plates, furniture and
vessels are ghostly hybrids of inherited cultural
values, contemporary aesthetic influence and ethical
concerns. The artist observes: “I continue, in a way,
dissecting a collective history, communicating in
contemporary forms the traditions begun centuries before
me.” Call 910.395.5999 for more information.
