Savannah College of Art & Design presents "Caught Captive" by Erick Swenson


from ArtKnowledge:
"Caught Captive" is an exhibition of naturalistic cast resin sculpture that showcases Swenson's hyper-realistic hybrid creatures frozen in moments of dramatic tension or austere isolation. Situated between art and science, Swenson's masterfully crafted, allegorical creatures denote the delicate balance in nature, the allure of death and the vulnerability of life.

“Erick’s sculptures are incredible on both a formal and conceptual level. The detail is awe-inspiring, which is what initially draws you in. Then once in front of the pieces, you begin to consider their complexity,” notes Senior Curator Melissa Messina.
