ART GALLERY PRESENTS LOCAL ARTIST EXHIBITION

The Butte College Art Gallery is pleased to display an exhibition by Chico artist Dan Corbin from October 1 – November 1. A closing reception will take place on Thursday, October 18 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., 3536 Butte Campus Drive, Arts Building, Room 106. This event is free and open to the public.
 
Corbin’s recent works include nine figurative sculptures and 13 figurative paintings which will be present in this show. Originally working out of a studio in Chico in the 90’s, Corbin is represented in collections across the country and around the world. A well-traveled sculpture from Corbin’s figurative show at the Fresno Art Museum was recently placed in a Stockholm, Sweden collection. In the 90’s, Corbin’s career gained traction with a juried award at the Crocker Kingsley Museum (which feature one of his figurative pieces in their permanent collection) that was followed by a one-man show at the Redding Art Museum. In 1996 he had a one-man show in New York.
 
Corbin’s work showcases a mastery of materials, textures, colors, and techniques. He considers his greatest compliment a nickname given to him by a fellow artist, “The Surface King.” Food and refreshments will be served. Come and celebrate artist Dan Corbin and the water and fire that have marked the life journey of this figurative sculptor. His new book, Kiss of the Art Gods: A Thirty-year Art Journey, will be available for signing at the closing reception.
