SCC Presents: Charley Farrero and Evan Quick
The Saskatchewan Craft Council presents “Mud Matters” by Charley Farrero and Evan Quick as part of Nuit Blanche this year.
Originally from Paris, France, Charley Farrero has worked as a ceramic artist since 1972. He studied Fine Arts in Regina SK, and currently lives and works as an artist in Meacham, Saskatchewan. Farrero draws on his own experience as a francophone immigrant to a rural Saskatchewan Ukrainian community to address universal observance of discrimination, intolerance and bigotry.
After a 35-year career with Air Canada, Evan Quick used his golden years to focus on his practice in ceramics, combining meticulous attention to detail and technique. Having spent his life in the prairies, the whimsical worlds Quick created use metaphor as social commentary that is both lyrical and distinctly Saskatchewan. His structures are lavishly layered and often include subtle elements which include concealed narratives and creative excursions.
“Mud matters”
Mud Matters is a spectacle of miniature vignettes that are both whimsical and pensive in nature. Charley Farrero and Evan Quick have a similar approach to their making process. They assemble small clay elements into a 3-dimensional ceramic collage. These playful elements entice the viewer to investigate further and allow us to see the deeper meaning behind their works.
