January Exhibitions & Events at Polk Museum of Art
Here's a rundown of what's happening in January at the Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College.
Bound Ascension: The Sculpture of Gino Miles
Through Jan. 14
Sculptor Gino Miles has worked in monumental and small dimensions since the 1970s. He works primarily in fabricated stainless steel and bronze, and the curvilinear, often weightless appearance of his pieces creates a visual contradiction with heavy metal materials, and challenges the fundamentally static nature of sculpture. Photo available.
