The viscosity etchings and ceramics of artist John Solem will be on display in the Kwan Fong Gallery of Art and Culture in the Soiland Humanities Center through Sunday, Oct. 26.
Solem is a faculty emeritus of the CLU Art Department and a resident of Yosemite Lakes Park north of Fresno. The “Wilderness Spirit” collection represents his direct experience with nature in Alaska, the High Sierra, the Canadian Wilderness and the Grand Canyon over the last 30 years. His artwork is best actualized through the flow of the sensory experiences with the natural world and shows a deep spiritual relationship between the artist and the wilderness.
