GENERATIONS: MENTOR TO FATHER TO SON opens October 10th, at the Galerie 103 in Kukui'ula Village. Exhibiting works by Peter Bodnar (80) , to Tom Lieber (60) , to Leaf Lieber (10)
October 10 - December 10 2009
The exhibit features works by Peter Bodnar, Chicago-area artist and art teacher who has maintained his personal vision over time, regardless of art trends and movements. Bodnar, a friend and peer to H.C.Westermann, William T. Wiley, Dennis Hopper, and many other internationally acclaimed artists, remains a mentor and father figure to his former student, Kauai's own, internationally acclaimed Tom Lieber, who proudly shows with Bodnar in this exhibition. The youngest artist in this group is Tom's son Leaf, who was mentored by his father from the age of two.
The Bodnar-to-Lieber-to-Lieber relay comprises an exhibition of works by an art family in which family ties are based as much on patterns of mentoring as they are formed through DNA -- artists generating not just art, but other artists.
