LINCOLN - "Waterman-Peters/Kudlacek: Friends at the Center", featuring paintings by Barbara Waterman-Peters, and ceramics by John Kudlacek, both of Topeka, opens at the Lincoln Art Center with a reception on Friday November 16 from 5-7:00 p.m.
Waterman-Peters received her BFA from Washburn University, her MFA from Kansas State University, taught at both institutions, and been active in many arts organizations. Her award winning work has been shown internationally, in museum, corporate and private collections, and is represented by five galleries, including the Cross Gallery in Kansas City and the Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan. She was invited to show in both the Kansas Inaugural and the Kansas Masters Exhibitions. Recently her work for the Washburn University Theater was exhibited at the Mulvane Art Museum. Waterman-Peters is a founding member of the Collective Art Gallery in Topeka, an artist’s cooperative just celebrating its 20th anniversary. In 2003 she was awarded a Certificate of Recognition of Outstanding Contributions to the State of Kansas.
John Kudlacek taught art at Emporia State University for 33 years and is now professor emeritus. He was selected to be one of five in the 2006 Kansas Artist Fellowship Recipient for his work in pottery. His work has been shown throughout the United States and in the Czech Republic, including 36 solo exhibitions, and numerous gallery exhibits. Kudlacek was a founding member and president of the Kansas Artist Craftsman Association in 1965. Through multiple series in both stoneware and porcelain, Kudlacek has explored subtle variations of distinctive shapes abstracted from objects as diverse as trees and taco shells. The sensitivity to natural form in these pieces could be described as the consistent thread running through four decades of Kudlacek’s career.
