EVIDENT ACTUAL | Karl Schwiesow

Poking fun at consumer culture, commodity culture, and the art world itself, Karl Schwiesow’s vividly colorful exhibit, Evident Actual, showcases the qualities of self-critical irony and of human sincerity within contemporary art.

Having spent several years as a commercial salmon fisherman before turning to sculpture full time. He received his MFA in sculpture and ceramics from the University of Montana in 2017.
