Closing Reception of Round 2, solo exhibition with Erwin Overes, is Friday, November 1, 6-9pm.
Round 2 is a Solo Exhibition of all new work by artist and owner, Erwin Overes. His new series is an exploration of circles and his experimentation with different materials from ceramics to fiber.
Erwin Overes was born and raised in the Netherlands, where he worked as an RN. He changed his career path to cultivate his artistic side and moved to the US to go back to school. Erwin tried his hand at interior design, but realized that he was more of a director than a creator. He began to craft furniture that he wanted to place in these planned interiors. Working as a furniture designer/maker on his own for 2 years, he discovered that the restrictions of the need of functionality steered him more towards sculptural work. After receiving his masters, focusing on wood sculpture, he has been privileged to work in his own studio creating pieces with total artistic freedom.
