Brian Kirk: “Natural Reaction”

Sculptor and printmaker Brian Kirk courts chemical reactions to create ephemeral, phantom-like prints from rusting metal. A marriage of art and science, Kirk’s rust prints bloom in hues of lush amber, ochre, and apricot. “Natural Reaction” will be on view at The Art League Gallery, September 5—October 7, 2018.
