“The figure... has been a lifelong pursuit in my work. Even when I have made a conscientious effort to depart from the figure, I have always returned to it for inspiration, challenge, and the dynamism that it offers.” - Hal Buckner, FIGURES TRANSFORMED artist An innovative, versatile artist trained in both sculpture and painting, Hal Buckner’s work is rooted in line drawing fundamentals, art history, and the female figure. No detail is too small as he cuts from a single aluminum sheet, strategically texturizes or paints the piece to emphasize shapes or provide contrast, and then mounts the work in such a way as to allow light to cast dramatic shadows. Come see Hal’s work in person at SAC now through September 24! . . . . . #figurestransformed #halbuckner #sac #southamptonartscenter #southampton #southamptonvillage #visitsouthamptonvillage #eastend #eastendli #eastendlongislandlife #discoverlongiand #hamptons #hamptonsart #hamptonsarthub #hamptonsartist #hamptonssummer #summerinthehamptons #inclusivearts
