Greater New Haven Community Events Calendar

Note: Opening Reception: Reception Saturday, February 12, 4 – 7 PM

Kehler Liddell Gallery is pleased to present Pest Control, featuring gallery member Gar Waterman’s welded steel sculptures and William Kent’s extraordinary carved slate prints on rice paper and cloth. This exhibit focuses on insect motifs used by both artists to cast a critical eye on an environment abused by a terminally self- absorbed human race. Kent’s style is anything but subtle – colorful prints delivering heavy irony with stark humor, societal idiocies reduced with relish to graphic conundrums. Waterman’s bricolage steel beetle sculptures move purposefully over architectural grids, harbingers of the inevitable decay of the man-made environment as nature will out in the end.
