John Balistreri is! I am hoping to find out that he is having a show close enough for me to get to, so that I can see these beautiful pieces up close. This style of art, according to his website is called "Neocubic". I have never seen this kind of work before, but I really like it! Beautiful to look at, and I'm sure even better to touch because of the textural and dimensional nature of the pieces (I wonder if touching is allowed?) So far, these are my favorite piece of art, that I have seen, as a result of doing the weekly write-ups :)

Glad you are finding the write-ups useful! John is a fellow Kent State Alumni and a pretty cool guy! He is still teaching in Bowling Green Ohio last I checked. He was greatly influenced by Peter Voulkos a major ceramics figure in the 20th century. Actually Voulkos passed away while doing a workshop at Bowling Green....crazy huh!? I think the UO might still have one of John's pieces from a workshop he did. I know the Schnitzer has a Voulkos piece.
