Leather sculpture, alabaster, terracotta and bronze sculpture will fill the Fire Arts Showroom for a January and February retrospective exhibit of work by New Carlisle artist, Randall J. Clark. Past visitors to the South Bend Farmer’s Market may remember when, as a shareholder vendor, his work was displayed from 1972 till 1995. Students, faculty and staff may remember the fifteen years at Indiana University South Bend when he served as gallery director and adjunct faculty. The r j clark studio/gallery in his New Carlisle home is where he continues to create, teach, and primarily display his work.
Public, and mostly private collections throughout the United States and 12 foreign countries, include representations of work that has received national awards and the silver award at the 1994 international Peace and Justice Exhibit in Jilin China. There, artists from over 50 countries presented work commemorating the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Randall was recipient of IUSB’s first BFA awarded in 1995 as a graduate of distinction, and an MA in Arts Management from Columbia College Chicago was awarded in 1998.
