The Bonita Museum and Cultural Center will open its newest exhibition, The Art of Animal Sculpture. The exhibition features over 40 sculptures that showcase animals as the artistic inspiration. The show will exhibit large and small scale works of sculptors Mark Edward Adams, D.L. Engle, Mehl Lawson, and Adam Matano. These award-winning artists represent some of the top sculptors of animals in the United States and their sculpture has been exhibited in numerous museums and galleries across the country. Mark Edward Adams views the animal as a metaphor for the human condition. His modern impressionistic style emphasizes emotions that range from extreme joy to heartache. Adams’ work has been exhibited at The Gilcrease Museum, The Booth Museum, Brookgreen Gardens, and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. He has received major awards from the National Sculpture Society and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. D.L. Engle sculpts animals with a reverence for the past.
