Exhibition: Tim Hayes, Bill Ayers, and Jeff Brown

Levee Gallery presents the work of Bill Ayers, Jeff Brown, and Tim Hayes this spring. Ayers, ,a self-taught artist living in Mandeville, creates metal sculpture in a broad variety of shape and size. Brown, a potter and professor at Nicholls State University, uses wood and soda ash to give his forms rich, earthy, layered surfaces that evoke growth and decay in nature. Hayers, a painter and retired professor of architecture at LA Tech, paints minimal, deconstructed works with quotidian motifs, particularly his recurring bicycle. All three artists offer understated works with resonance. The exhibit opens with a March 14 reception, 4 pm–7 pm. facebook.com/events/418705718936081. leveegallery.com.
