Rodney Artiles & Chukes
Mutual Respect: Canvas and Clay
December 7 – December 30, 2007
Opening Reception Friday, December 7, 2007 from 5:00pm – 9:00pm
Open to the public
Recognizing each other’s innate passion and creativity, painter, Rodney Artiles, and sculptor, Chukes, have evolved their respective forms of creative expression in a new exhibit entitled: Mutual Respect: Canvas and Clay. The inspiration for this exhibit stems from the decade long friendship between the painter and the sculptor. Artiles and Chukes explore each other’s media in appreciation of their artistic growth and achievement—the painter now sculpts and the sculptor now paints. The admiration Artiles and Chukes have for each other’s work and creative processes come together in diverse works on canvas and paper, in clay and bronze.
Rodney Artiles
With an MFA from Academie Minerva/Frank Mohr Institute in the Netherlands and a BFA in Painting from the California College of the arts in Oakland,CA, Artiles has exhibited extensively throughout the Bay Area, the Netherlands and Greece. He is an accomplished painter, who is also well-known for his drawings and sketches. Artiles resides in Oakland, CA.
Chukes
Chukes’ sculptures have been exhibited extensively throughout the US most notably New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Dallas. His works have been commissioned in private collections of prominent collectors such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Carol H. Williams, and James Thomas, White House Deputy District Attorney. A resident of Los Angeles, Chukes is a sculptor, who uses clay; however, he is not a ceramicist. His sculptures and themes evolve from the notes and melodies in the music that inspires him.
