David Provan: Barely Not Impossible
Garrison Art Center (GAC) is pleased to announce Barely Not Impossible, an exhibition of sculptures and paintings by Visiting Artist, David Provan. This is the artist鈥檚 first solo show at Garrison Art Center.
鈥淚鈥檝e come to understand that we inhabit a universe that extends far beyond the grasp of our five senses,鈥� said Provan. He continues, 鈥淭hese extremes evade us because they are, for the most part, too tiny, too huge, or too glacially slow for us to grasp. Through my studies and ultimately through my art, I鈥檝e tried to construct objects that model and resonate with that world that lies just beyond our understanding.鈥� While living in Japan, India, and Nepal, David Provan became interested in the concepts of Maya (illusion) and Yab-yum (the union of opposites). These ideas form the core of much of his artwork. He later studied painting and architecture at Yale and the Royal College of Art in London. His work has been shown in galleries and museums in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, London, and Korea. He has completed several public art projects, including a permanent sculpture installation for the Herald Square subway station in New York City in 1996.
