Bob Boemig, an artist from Dummerston, Vt., will have his show Reliefs featured in the Castleton Downtown Gallery located at the Center Street Alley in Rutland. The sculpture exhibit, highlighting the natural world, will run from June 19 through July 20, with an “Artist Talk” scheduled for July 12 at 6 p.m. in the gallery.
The natural world is central to Boemig’s sculpture both artistic material and as a source of reference, inspiration and connection. The process of life and death and decay and deconstruction has led the work of the artist to a series of abstract, minimal and contemplative sculptural landscapes, complete with spatial tension and ambiguities. It is the artist hopes the viewer will find a moment to consider, reflect, renew and reaffirm a sense of peace within themselves through this work.
