Work by artists in the Post Modern Assemblage Class
taught by John Murray at the New Art Center.
This is an experimental and energetic studio class where artists move fluidly between two and three dimensions. Using found objects and construction materials, artists explore color, form, texture and shape to create abstract mixed media sculptural works.
Below are installation views of an exhibit (on view during the summer) of works made in class inspired by a nude model, as well as photographs made of work in progress during the class.
Works from left to right across both images by: Maddy Bragar, Laura Fragasso, Maddy Bragar, Dan Hart, John Murray, Margaret Zaleski.
