Recent Works

Mandeville Gallery, Nott Memorial
March 18, 2010 - May 09, 2010


This annual faculty exhibition features recent sculpture and works on paper by Chris Duncan, Professor of Visual Arts at Union College.  Duncan's vibrant, playful abstractions are imbued with a sense of immediacy and energy.  Both the two and three-dimensional works evoke movement, emotion and memory.  For Duncan, the process is central to the final form, and what occurs during the making of each piece causes an evolution in form from the concept to the completion.  Adding and subtracting material Duncan works until a perfect moment of tension exists between line and volume, solid and void, gravity and balance.

Duncan has exhibited widely including solo exhibitions at: Gallery 100, Saratoga, NY; Firefanz Gallery, Albany, NY; Bruno Marina Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Saratoga Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, NY; Nanjing Normal University, Nanjing, China; Kirkland Art Center, Clinton, NY; NO B.I.A.S. Artists Space, North Bennington, VT; RCCA Gallery, Troy, NY; Anderson Gallery, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA; University of Maine, Farmington, ME; and Usdan Gallery, Bennington College, Bennington, VT. His work is included in private and public collections including: Franconia Sculpture Part, Hudson Valley Community College, The Hyde Collection, Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute Museum of Art, North Shore Sculpture Park, SUNY Plattsburgh, Union College, University of Maine System, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Wright State University.
