Tom Kregel: A Life's Work in Three Dimensions
As a sculptural material, cast stone has an uncertain nature. Once you recognize the material as stone, you have a little internal argument over
whether what you're looking at was carved or
not. Depending on the subject of the sculpture,
that disorientation can bring illusionistic or
surreal wonder. Both senses are present in Tom
Kregel's late cast-stone sculptures of disembodied
heads, weird pillars and wall hangings, and
near-architectural shoes. Before his death in
2002, Kregel showed drawing, painting, welded steel, bronze casting, photography and sculpture
throughout North Carolina, and his Tar Heel
legacy includes art instruction at all levels. Craven Allen opens a retrospective of his work—much of which looks like it could be the basis for a Tim Burton thriller—along with paintings by Chad Hughes, a former student of Kregel's. —Chris Vitiello
