Never/Always @ MG Gallery

Saw a nice show at the MG Gallery today. Matthew Scheatzle sculpts playful and unpretentious rock-like ceramic objects which he mounts on the gallery walls. Some of his sculptures look like cut stones. Of these, earlier works are noticeably hand-built and have expressive and painterly surfaces, while later works are more precise with more realistic rock-like patinas. Other works that combine both wood and ceramic have playful, organic shapes. Over all an enjoyable compact show.
