September 7th - October 12th, 2013 Artist Reception: Saturday, September 7th, 5 - 8pm |
PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE |
George Billis Gallery is pleased to present the gallery’s second exhibition of Tim Yankosky’s new work. The exhibition features eleven new sculptural wall pieces and runs from September 7th through October 12th with an artist reception on September 7th from 5 - 8pm.
Yankosky’s writes of his found object wall pieces, “materials are often the driving force and inspiration behind the works of art that I create. I have always been drawn to the functional wear and patina of vintage and found objects. Recently, vintage measuring tapes and their cases have captured my attention and I enjoy the challenge of repurposing these old objects for a journey in which they were never intended for. I create a new environment for these objects to "live on" in a new form of being, by way of contemporary works of art. I hopefully impart to them longevity, by featuring them in this unsuspected new function.”
Yankosky received his degree from San Francisco State University and has exhibited throughout the United States. He was the recipient of the Peoples’ Choice Award at Tails of the City 2.0, Creative Visionaries Celebrate the Microsoft Mouse as Art in San Francisco, CA, the Metal Arts Scholarship Award at the Stillwell Fall 2000 Show, San Francisco, CA, the Outstanding Achievement Metal Arts Stillwell Spring 2000 Show 2000, San Francisco, CA, the First Place Mixed Media/Sculpture Award National Annual Small Works Competition & Exhibition at Left Bank Gallery in Salt Lake City, UT, and was a finalist for a San Francisco Art Council Grant. .
