Professor Billy Renkl’s Show at Cincinnati’s Manifest Creative Research and Drawing Center Mentioned in Dec. 20th Issue of City Beat

“Manifest Gallery currently has three individual shows in its three separate
galleries < Arthur Brum, Ivan Fortushniak and Billy Renkl. The outstanding
one of the bunch < a marvel, really < is Renkl's Plan for a Garden show of
recent works. These fabulous collages have been painstakingly constructed
(resurrected, in a way) from such source material as old books and maps. The
artist, based in Tennessee, has built new imagery, and new meaning, from the
old in a way that makes you realize the ongoing potential for beauty in
everything human-made that has ever been discarded or forgotten."
