A reception will be held on Saturday, June 26, from 6: 30- 8: 00 p. m. Guests will have an opportunity to meet the sculptor and view his art at the reception. Owen's found object sculptures reflect his experience of the South Dakota landscape of his youth. Constructed with materials that Owen finds in ditches, abandoned lots, and old farmsteads, his figurative sculptures speak to the elements of the natural world and the forces of nature. In this series of sculptures, graceful contour lines of rusted rebar, or strapping wire suggest volume and solidity of form. Life size horses made with open armatures are sheathed in twisted metal siding and rusted wire. Larger than life human figures express overwhelming grief or assume the stance of a warrior. On display will be numerous sculptures to include a Golden Rod, Horse, and Buffalo. For further information about the Apex Gallery and Doug Owen exhibit, visit the Apex Gallery web site at http:// www. hpcnet. org/ apex, or call Deborah Mitchell, Director, Apex Gallery at ( 605) 394- 1254. ++ 30++ Photo caption: A sculpture by Rapid City resident Doug Owen is depicted above.
