THIBODAUX, La. — The Dane Ledet Gallery at ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ will feature a collection from Louisiana artist Chris Pate through Thursday, Feb. 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based in New Orleans, Pate\u2019s work features wood-fired ceramics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cChris\u2019s work exhibits a wonderful display of textures and a variety of colors within 3-dimensional forms, which have all been fired in a wood-burning kiln,\u201d said Jeff Brown, associate professor of ceramics. \u201cThe work really shows the diversity that can be produced using this type of kiln.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pate will give a gallery talk at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 9. The event is free and open to the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette in 2009, Pate moved to Oregon where he discovered wood-fired ceramics in 2012. He was so inspired by the method that it has become his primary mode of expression since. In 2016, he returned to Louisiana as a resident artist in the ceramics department at UL. Pate\u2019s artwork has been featured in collections nationally and internationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
