Mixed-media artist Jayne Lawrence specializes in drawing and sculpture. Finding inspiration in the human form, fantastical beasties and architectural elements, her anthropomorphic amalgams amuse, intrigue, befuddle and bewilder.
“I start from a place of knowing and end in a place of discovery, transformed,” Lawrence says of her work.
A mainstay in the San Antonio art community as a creator, gallerist (Cactus Bra, cactusBARN) and professor, recently retired, Lawrence has received awards from the International Sculpture Center and residencies including at the Sculpture Space in Utica, New York since she relocated here in the ’80s. She’s also twice represented South Texas in the Texas Biennial.
In her latest exhibition, ‘Echoes of Nature: The Feminine and the Wild,’ which opens this Thursday, she pairs feminine forms exhibiting archetypal traits with elements of nature, exploring the irrevocable interconnectedness of the individual and universal along with the inherent multiplicity of the psyche.
Free, opening reception 6-8 p.m. Thursday, June 12, by appointment through Aug. 14, King William Association, 122 Madison St., (210) 227-8786, www.ourkwa.org.
