Join us at the Maturango Museum for “Reflections,” a art gallery exhibition highlighting the beautiful contrast between sculpture by Jim Hunolt and paintings by Barry Howard. Opening Reception Friday July 3, 5-7pm Maturango Museum – receptions are free and open to the public. Jim Hunolt’s Sculptures in Granite, Marble, Bronze, Wood, Steel My sculptures are in traditional materials and are carved, cast, or welded. My basic intention is to create forms and content that express my understandings of our Human Condition. Most of my efforts are generated in human forms, semi-abstracted. Others are considerations of abstract concepts essential to our existence. I believe that the purpose of Art is the exploration of the Human Spirit. Having been a professional sculptor since 1965, I have had the opportunity to work in a number of mediums, and with a master sculptor, Gordon Newell for 35 years until his passing in 1998. The Coast gallery in Big Sur has represented my work for 55 straight years, 1969-2024. They closed their Gallery in 2024. Barry Howard’s Paintings in Acrylic Barry Allen Howard is a self-taught painter who works primarily in oils. He draws inspiration from nature and moves back and forth between realism and abstraction, often blending the two together. He has lived and painted all over the country from the rugged Big Sur Coast to the deserts of Arizona and New Mexico as well as the tropical beaches of Maui. Currently his home is in a tiny ghost town near Death Valley.
