Shaun O Dell "Sound From a Rock"

Jack Hanley

This event has ended.

"Sound From a Rock" is a solo exhibition of the work of San Francisco-based artist Shaun O Dell. Shaun s observations loosely compose inquiries about human engagement with nature and how this relationship has interacted historically with symbolic cultural production to support the construction and manifestation of power. The tombs and artifacts of history s denials and creativities are the living source for the images produced.

Inspired by physicist David Bohm s writings on creativity and the implicate order in nature, O Dell uses sculpture and sound as well as
more abstracted and intuitively derived drawings in this recent body of work to explore new formal and conceptual directions. The enfolded, expansive and unresolved nature of the conceptual content is matched formally in the looser, more expressive handling of materials and broadened variety of media.

During the opening O Dell's band Sword and Sandals will perform
harmonic explorations based on the dualistic principles of Zoroaster.

Shaun O Dell was born in 1968 in Beeville, TX. His work has been
exhibited both nationally and internationally, with a recent solo
exhibit at Susan Inglett Gallery in New York, NY. O Dell is the
recipient of the 2005 SECA Award and Fleishhacker Award. In 2007, his
work was exhibited at James Harris Gallery, Seattle, WA and Pierogi in
Leipzig.
