ARTIST TALK WITH JOHN BEHNKE

Thursday, February 20, 6:00pm

Guild Room

Please join John Behnke on Thursday, February 20th at 6:00pm for an artist talk, discussing his current solo exhibition FALSE GUIDES, in the Guild Room at Epiphany Center for the Arts.

False Guides presents frozen moments from three interlocking stories of striving, deception, and perdition. John Behnke uses a rich mix of materials – colored pencils, alcohol markers, acrylics, oils, glaze, and glitter – layered to build scenes of hallucinogenic detail and vivid color. Behnke is known for his radiant, open skies, but scenes in False Guides play in a different register, taking us to realms of dust and shadow. In “The Wanderers” series, we follow a tribe of animated mannequins that populate an abandoned mall in Minnesota. They grope through the merchandise that remains in the ruins, seeking some semblance of an identity. Behnke’s fully articulating ceramic mannequins bring the narratives to life, while demonstrating his mastery across a range of materials.
