During renovation of the Riverviews building, Amherst sculptor, Craig Pleasants salvaged cast-off materials from the Riverviews building: empty shoe boxes, plastic boot forms, one-by-two slats used as shelving–anything in abundant supply that was to be discarded. Since then, Pleasants has used that material to create ambitiously scaled work that flirted with ideas of housing, shelter, class and privilege, resulting in his exhibition, SALVAGE.

Humor is the welcome mat for most of Eric Standley’s work. He admittedly arrives at the simplistic or insignificant through overt complexity. The result is an oscillation between reduction and glorification.
Eric Standley explains the meaning behind the exhibition’s title, “Its a play on the word “pedantic” meaning a strict adherence to academic rules and “bi” 
meaning 2- as in duality or even opposition. Bipedantic could mean humanities strict path – tiresome and tedious- of self discipline. The show will feature concepts of self-discipline as beauty and burden.
Eric received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Interrelated Media from the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston. For the following four years he studied Renaissance oil painting under the artist Levon Armenius Mnazakanian. He expanded into technology based imaging utilizing laser engraving and cutting. He received his Master of Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design where he combined his traditional, technological and philosophical appreciations with his sarcastic nature. His work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
