San Antonio, Texas FUNDING The Joe Barnhart Foundation Houston, Texas BEEVILLE ART MUSEUM 401 E. FANNIN • P.O. Box 1236 • BEEVILLE, TEXAS 78104 361.358.8615 • [email protected] FOREWORD The invitation for a solo exhibition on the beautifully landscaped grounds of the Beeville Art Museum presented a unique opportunity for Danville Chadbourne to create a special body of work. This new series of sculptures incorporates his use of material, technique and personalized visual language that he has developed and refined over the past 30 years as an artist. This new series of totem sculptures, assembled and created of ceramic, concrete and stone, reflect the result of the artist’s journey that demonstrates a new high level of resolve and refinement. Their craftsmanship, mastered technique and process employ his career experience and knowledge of his chosen medium. These contemporary totems serve as a culmination of the artist’s aesthetic issues, ideas and artistic development. Chadbourne’s oeuvre has always been imbued with contradictions and a contrasting duality – man-made geometric shapes against natural organic forms. Utilizing elemental shapes, symbols and abstract patterns and motifs, these sculptures combine historical and current aesthetic issues with the artist’s strong interest in and the influence of folk and tribal art. These ritualistic totems are assembled of color-stacked segments, geometric elements of cylinders, rectangles and rings, and are topped with enigmatic shaped forms suggesting metamorphous growth and change.

This was a big undertaking because to say that Danville is a prolific artist is an understatement. His studio, formerly a neighborhood grocery store, and adjacent 1920’s era house, are literally filled floor to ceiling with work, which has spilled out to the backyard making a Zen like sculpture garden. Even though this exhibition occupies the largest gallery in Blue Star, we wanted to be careful to guard against the temptation of exhibiting too many pieces. Much of Danville’s work has a powerful presence that commands a significant amount of space to be properly viewed. At first blush some of these primordial and reverberating forms seem minimal in shape. However, as one contemplates the work, with its many textures, colors and complex formal relationships, a much more sophisticated and multi-faceted intention emerges. The resulting exhibition is a satisfying amalgam of freestanding sculptures juxtaposed with three-dimensional paintings. These wall and floor pieces create a dynamic and articulate conversation and are displayed with enough breathing room to both relate to each other and exalt in their own solo spaces.
