Beauty and the Social Beast: Jon Eric Riis - Master of Tapestry
Saturday October 20, 2012 from 10:00am - 5:00pm
Mobile Museum of Art
4850 Museum Dr
Mobile, Alabama 36608 Get Directions
Jon Eric Riis' career as a textile artist spans over 40 years; examples of his work are found in major museums and corporate collections worldwide. This exhibition will focus on the socially themed fiber creations of this Atlanta, Georgia, based artist. Riis' astoundingly beautiful hand-woven textiles push the boundaries of tapestry, often using precious materials such as metallic and silk thread and added embellishments of freshwater pearls, crystal and coral beads. In December 2011 he was the recipient of a prestigious United States Artists Fellowship.
