Natural Abstract – Work by William Ambrose Mills IV
William Ambrose Mills IV, a second grader at the New Classical Academy, loves math. Other favorites include the book Captain Underpants, Mozart, the Saturn moon Titan, and work by Jackson Pollock and Roy Lichtenstein.
Mills presents three types of work in his exhibition. The first are small sculptures made out of wood scraps. He first created these at “Wood Day” at the Folk Art Center at the kids’ craft table. Mills exhibits a second type of sculpture made with popsicle sticks and other wood shapes from craft stores.
Finally, Mills exhibits his “paintings,” which are hung on the wall, but are wood bases with drips (like Pollock). The drips are either colored glue from glue guns or dirt applied to dripped wood glue. Mills, who is seven years old, is currently working on an art on paper project, as well as “mysterious” sculptures of planets.
Opening reception Saturday, November 3 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. On display through November 27, 2012 in the Chamber of Art at Phil Mechanic Studios in the River Arts District. Flood Gallery Fine Art Center, 109 Roberts Street in Asheville. For more information visit www.floodgallery.org.
