Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce concrete-spring, a solo-exhibition by Houston artist Troy Stanley, opening Friday, December 13, 2013, with an artist reception from 6:30 – 8:30PM. This exhibition consists of kinetics, sculpture, and interactive installations.

Troy Stanley's work typically explores the relationships in and around what is perceived as life and what are recognized as objects. Working in constructivist and constructivism canon, the artist attempts to shift materials and objects towards a perceivable life-like essence. Vice-versa, he reduces living things to that of a mere object or function. Using a wide array of materials and found objects, Stanley’s sculptural installations interact with the environment electronically and mechanically. Through this, he creates a situation that influences the viewer to redefine their own mental constructs of their environment. Stanley’s ability to transform inanimate objects and everyday materials into active, dynamic sculptures produces an all-encompassing experience.

 About the artist:
Troy Stanley is a sculptor currently living and working in Houston, Texas. Upon receiving his degree in sculpture from the University of Houston in 2005, Stanley began his professional career with a solo exhibition at Lawndale Art Center in Houston. In 2007 he attended the prestigious residency at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine, and shortly after attended the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center Residency in Nebraska. He is also the recipient of a Houston Arts Alliance Emerging 
Artist Grant.
