Found Objects, New Worlds: The Assemblage Art of Dr. Mel Wolk

April 23–July 27

Dr. Mel Wolk’s whimsical, colorful artworks offer takes on life, love, sports,  and politics, but his assemblages also offer abstracted ideas. He is a master at pulling together disparate pieces, and turning them into finished pieces that comment on the human condition, or just make someone smile.

There is a method, as they say, to the good doctor’s perceived madness. His recycled creations are prime examples of what can be created with discarded items.
