Sculptor Jim Killys Solo Exhibition Slated for

Brazee Street Studios gallery One One
Cincinnati, OH gallery One One at Brazee Street School of Glass continues its 2013-14
exhibition season with the opening of mostly wood on August 23rd. The solo exhibition will
feature artwork by longtime local sculptor Jim Killy.
Running August 23 October 3, 2013, the exhibition will feature new sculptural and
installation work in "mostly wood". Killy's work combines a range of sculptural languages
including the manipulation of wood, integration of found objects, stone, and welded
steel.
It gives me great pleasure to be able to exhibit this body of work, said Killy. I have been
working for over a year to make concepts become reality. Though the pieces on exhibit
may lack continuity to some, my objective was to create pieces that have been on my
mind or in some sketchbooks for some time. The connection then is that they were almost
never made. Part of my work continues to focus on the manipulation of wood, bronze,
stone and fabricated/welded steel as well as the element of motion and human
interaction. Brazee Street Studios has provided me with an opportunity to execute my
Sculpture bucket list. It has proven to be a joyous experience.
An opening gallery reception for mostly wood will take place on Friday, August 23 from 68pm. A second gallery reception will take place during Oakley After hours on Friday,
September 13 from 6-9pm. Both receptions are open to the public and there is no cost to
attend. Attendees will also have the opportunity to tour and shop the studios of the more
than 25+ artists who reside at Brazee Street Studios.
gallery One One hours are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9am 5pm; Tuesday 9am 7pm;
Thursday 12pm 8pm; Saturday 10am 1pm; Closed Sunday. For more information, visit
