2006 JUROR: James Surls
Surls was born and raised in East Texas, and no artist of his generation has had a greater impact upon the development of Texas as a locus of vibrant creativity. The exhibition focuses on a twenty-year period when Surls owned a large tract of land in Splendora, from which he took both raw materials and his intellectual inspiration. The artist moved to Colorado in 1998. A world- renowned artist and sculptor James Surls resident of the Roaring Fork Valley, has numerous artworks displayed in major public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (NY); the Whitney Museum of Modern Art (NY); the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (NY); and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA). Mr. Surls is the recipient of several awards, among them: the 1993 Living Legend Award from the Dallas (TX) Visual Art Center; Texas Artist of the Year (1991) from the Houston Area Art League; and in 1979, he won a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship.
