Exhibition - Jack Earl

Ceramist Jack Earl immortalized moments of Middle America in sculptural tableaux drawn straight from his life in rural Ohio. Earl became a seminal figure in American ceramics by elevating the importance of family life and humor into the realm of fine art. A natural-born storyteller, Earl never let art-world fashions deter him from celebrating the quotidian narrative in his sculptures. His scenes range from deadpan portraits to quirky tall tales wherein a dog might walk on two feet or a person might find some of their body parts replaced with vegetables. Frequently intermingling fantasy and daily life, Earl is a master at reminding us that within the things we take for granted, there are moments of never-ending mystery and wonder.
