Kekrops and Pandrossos by Duncan McDaniel
A free opening reception will take place on September 28 at the Parthenon from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the Nashville premiere of Duncan McDaniel: Fountain. The exhibit explores the mythology, art, and design of ancient Greek culture and will be on display in the East Gallery of the Parthenon from September 29, 2023, to March 31, 2024. The exhibit includes 18 original pieces of art, comprised of two backlit sculptures, nine suspended vases, six paintings, and one mural. Through a multidisciplinary lens of painting, sculpture, and installation, McDaniel taps into a fountain from an era that has left unending images and ideas for us to ponder on a conscious and subconscious level. Curiosity and spontaneity flow through each artwork as he explores stacked patterns and repetition of lines, shapes, and color. The ambient aesthetic expressed in the undulating lines is a contemplation on the idea that each day we are slightly different versions of ourselves.
