Over the years, Richard Fleischner has produced a sizable
body of work that includes large-scale public sculpture and installations,
paintings, landscaping, and small sculptural work. Using such
basic cultural elements as the box, the maze, and the field, Fleischner
builds objects and environments that invite contemplation. Winner
of numerous honors including a 2000 Pell Award, Fleischner has
created and shown his work all over the world, is regularly featured
in such publications as the New York Times and Art in America,
and continues to work from his studio in Providence.
Brian Shure creates delicate and highly detailed landscapes
using a variety of media including oil, intaglio, inks, and watercolor.
His finished paintings and prints are "about light and shadow,
surface, the pleasure of creating the illusion of space on a flat
plane, and in the end about the process and pleasure of seeing."
His work has been widely shown in the US, Italy, and Japan, and
he currently teaches in the Printmaking Department at RISD.
Ceramist Judyth van Amringe takes shapes and textures found
in nature as inspiration for her porcelain and stoneware pieces.
Her arrangements of ceramic bone, eggs, and shells suggest a shaman's
tools or ancient artifacts recently unearthed. Winner of the Louis
Comfort Tiffany Grant in 2001, van Amringe has shown her work
in New York and was recently featured in House and Garden Magazine.
