Local sculptor Brian Colin has become known for his fantasy creature creations that bring otherworldly inhabitants to three-dimensional life. His sculptural work has primarily been seen locally at the now-defunct Alcove Gallery, but this month you can find his whimsical creations taking up residence at the Plaza Theatre for The Small Game of Revilo, a collection of pieces representing the denizens of the artist’s own land of wonder and whimsy. As part of the theater’s Art Opening and a Movie series, Revilo is being paired, appropriately enough, with a screening of the Jim Henson classic The Dark Crystal, with the Center for Puppetry Arts providing some of its Henson collection for the opening night festivities. As he puts the finishing touches on his newest collection, Colin takes a moment to talk about this show.
