November 1-25, Art Market Gallery of Knoxville is pleased to present an exhibit of recent works by Lisa Kurtz and Joe Parrott, both of Knoxville.

Lisa Kurtz, who holds a BA and MA in Ceramics from the University of Louisville, will be exhibiting a collection of her recent works in clay. Her pieces, made with white stoneware clay, are a fusion of traditional forms with contemporary touches and are completely functional. Lisa is a member of several regional craft guilds.

Joe Parrott, an award-winning cityscape and landscape painter, renders his subject matter masterfully in oils in a thick, impasto style. The lights, shadows and reflections that he observes in the landscape are what inspire him to paint. His works are in many public and private collections.

Janusz Kapusta, an acclaimed Polish artist who lives in New York City, will lecture on his work, which will be presented as an exhibition in the Ewing Gallery. The lecture and exhibition is jointly sponsored by the College of Architecture and Design, the School of Art, and the Marek Maria Pienkowski Foundation.

Rhapsody in K-Dron will be a two and three dimensional installation, featuring a model of the K-Dron. The K-Dron is the geometrical form defined by its complexity and subtly. Discovered by Janusz Kapusta in 1985 and patented in 1987, the name K-Dron originates from K, the 11th letter of the alphabet, and GK-EDRON, the Greek word for surface.
This exhibition is held in honor of Polish Independence Day on November 11th.
