For those that remember: At last year’s INTEX Expo, one of the interesting exhibits featuring something truly unique was showcased at Continental Building Products’ booth. More of an art installation than a forum for new products, the booth featured drywall contractor Bernie Mitchell, whose pieces were of such craft and talent that pictures were snapped and gawkers gazed at the great and interesting work.
These works featured Mitchell’s pastoral landscape images that were sculpted from joint compound on top of gypsum. Even if the scenes featured were not to everyone’s taste in art, no one could deny something different was on display here. Among his subjects are ducks in a creek, grazing horses and pastoral landscapes—though if commissioned, he certainly could provide his clientele with probably most other designs given their individual preference.
