Mechanical sculptures created by artist Jim Kransberger will be on display beginning Aug. 18 in “Automations,” a free exhibit at the University of Mobile’s (UMobile) Marilyn Foley Art Gallery.
Kransberger, whose whimsical works feature unique movement, will discuss his art during an Artist Talk at the gallery at 1 p.m. on opening day of the exhibit, Aug. 18. Exhibit hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday–Friday. “Automations” will be on display through Sept. 30.
The nearly 80-year-old self-taught artist’s sculptures have been in gallery shows in North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee.
Recently he transitioned to working with clay, moving from folk art to contemporary sculpture. Humor is a common theme in his works and pieces representing both styles of his art will be on display.
Ceramic works and mechanical wood sculptures also will be on display beginning Aug. 18 in “Observations,” a free exhibit at the gallery.
The Marilyn Foley Art Gallery is located in the Ben May Building on the UMobile campus. For information, call the UMobile art department at 251-442-2283 or visit umobile.edu.
