Red Lodge Clay Center – Short-Term Resident (AIA) 2019
Pavel Amromin was born in Gomel, an industrial city in the former Soviet republic of Belarus. At age 13 he and his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Chicago. Pavel received his Bachelor of Fine Art with a concentration in sculpture from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and his Master of Fine Art in Ceramics from the University of Florida.
Pavel is a recipient of the Florida Individual Artist Fellowship and has exhibited his sculpture in group and solo exhibitions around the country. Currently he is the Gallery Director and Assistant Professor at Gulf Coast State College.
These pieces were produced during my short stay at Red Lodge. They are quick studies of some of the animals I saw out there. The majestic landscapes and fauna of the West left quite an impression on this urbanite.
