The Arts Center at Duck Creek is thrilled to announce an upcoming solo exhibition featuring local artist Jonathan Shlafer, opening Saturday, August 31 and on view through Sunday, September 29, 2024. A reception will be held on Saturday, August 13, from 5-7 pm.

Jonathan Shlafer, an Amagansett-based sculptor, has spent the past few years crafting a distinctive exploration of forms influenced by the materials and natural scenery of the East End. Using basic tools and unconventional methods, he works with salvaged wood, intricately carving and refining its natural shapes. Shlafer uses oils, bleaching, or fire to unveil the inherent textual beauty of the wood finish. In addition to these wooden works, this exhibition will feature large scale gestural drawings.

Shlafer is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts in New York, NY. Jonathan is a graduate of the School of Visual Arts, New York, NY.
