Artist reception and talk

STORRS- The Benton Museum of Art, located at the University of Connecticut campus in Storrs, presents "Garth Evans: Selections from the Studio" Feb. 2-April 28. A reception will be held on Feb. 1 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. with an artist talk at 5:30 p.m. This exhibit highlights the Connecticut-based artist's sculptures from the 1990s to the present day. Following the completion of his studies at Slade School of Fine Art, Evans began his career in 1960 as a sculptor and instructor in London. Though he works primarily in clay, Evans is also known for his watercolors, which carry forth a sculptural exploration of line and shape in a two-dimensional picture plane.
