Exposed.
July 22-October 21, 2017
Opening: Saturday, July 22, 4-8PM
“Exposed” is a long-standing annual outdoor sculpture exhibition in Stowe. Hosted by Helen Day Art Center, “Exposed” was initiated by two local artists, Christopher Curtis and John Matusz, to bring what was Vermont Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition off the lawn of Helen Day Art Center and into the village of Stowe to “expose” the artwork of both emerging and established artists to a greater public.
Now in its 26th year, “Exposed. 2017” features internationally renowned sculptors Mark di Suvero and Lionel Smit, alongside New York artist Victoria Palermo, and regionally established artists Judith Wrend, Walter Horak, Christopher Curtis, Ted Ceraldi, Karen Petersen, Tom Douglas, Rodrigo Nava, Colin Moore.
Known for large scale portraiture both on canvas and as sculpture, Lionel Smit is one of South Africa’s preeminent contemporary artists. Over the past 10 years he has established a substantial international following with collectors ranging from the Standard Chartered Bank to Laurence Graff Art Collection at Delaire Graff Wine Estate. Smit is based in Strand, Cape Town. His process as an artist today remains adaptive, inventive, and physically engaging. He supports several charities on a regular basis with donations of artworks for auction, including ArtAngels, Wild Aid and the MAD Charity. He was recently honored with a Ministerial Award from the Department of Culture for Visual Art. The inclusion of the Lionel Smit sculpture Morphous was made possible by the generous loan of Cynthia-Reeves.
