At the Bates College Museum June 12th through October 3rd.

This exhibition focuses on a select group of Langlais’s representational and geometrical abstractions from the 1950’s and 1960’s and includes an introduction to a broader context influencing him at the time of their creation. Langlais utilized the possibilities of wood as a medium through found objects ranging from toothpicks to driftwood and experimented with both ambiguous and suggestive forms and titles that reveal assemblage, Cubist, and Expressionist approaches to shape and gesture. By doing so, he established an intimate approach to the character of wood, such as its weathering and its manipulation through shaping and accenting.

There will be an opening reception on Friday, June 12th at 6:00 pm.
