This week, we’re introducing our exhibiting artists so you can get to know them leading up to their art pieces’ installation at Menokin in October!
John Latell (Wicomico Forge) grew up near Warrenton, VA and lived and worked in Richmond and Pittsburgh. He’s produced large scale public sculpture both sanctioned for posterity and large works placed carefully in neglected industrial sites. Public art, solo gallery shows, group exhibitions and private, personal work generated much through the lens of metal sculpture though paint, photography, printmaking, wood, concrete and stone also. For over 20 years he’s called the Northern Neck home.
The primacy of form, the nature of mind, loosely held associations, fluid inquiry and eclectic interests are some of which are expressed well in the work of Luiz Zerbini, Anselm Kiefer and Maurizzio Cattelan encapsulated in myriad form of nature and history.
“I would like to abide with my personal work and share it through exhibition. Thank you for your time and may violence and struggle forever be supplanted by sanity, wisdom and grace.” - John
