State
University graduate from a number years ago, but
will soon be returning to Huntsville, to coincide
with the installation of his Time and Time Again
exhibit at the Wynne Home Arts Center, opening
Saturday, November 5.
“It’s wonderful to have an artist of the magnitude
of Mr. Surls in Huntsville,” noted Linda Pease, the
City of Huntsville’s Wynne Home Coordinator.
“And we are very proud to have him at the
opening reception of what is a magnificent exhibit
of his work.”
The exhibit, which will be on display in the Brown-
Wynne Gallery of the Wynne, includes small
sculptures, maquettes of large works, drawings,
and paintings, for a total of 28 pieces. It’s an
impressive collection, one created by an artist
whose reputation has grown substantially in the
five decades since he departed SHSU. “As a
sculptor,” noted The New York Times in 1984, “Mr.
Surls puts commanding craftsmanship at the
service of a vigorous imagination.”
Surls’ work has appeared at The Smithsonian in
Washington, DC; the Guggenheim in New York
City; and the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts in
Dallas. At Surls’ wish, the exhibit here is dedicated
to Stephanie Smither, a long-time supporter of the
arts in both Huntsville and Houston, who passed
away earlier this year.
The public is invited to join Surls and other guests
at the opening reception for Time and Time Again,
from 4-6 p.m. on Saturday, November 5, with
remarks at 5 p.m. The reception is sponsored by
the Friends of the Wynne.
