It is with great pride that the UCF Art Gallery exhibits the Clotb, Paper and Rubber Collapsions of sculptor Johann Eyfells. This exhibition honors the prolific career of the artist as his 30 years as professor of sculpture in the UCF Art Department come to a close.

To encounter Johann Eyfells' work is to experience the infinite. He explores timeless ideas found in the fields of art, philosophy, and science. His distinctive union of abstract expressionist gesture with minimalist repetition of geometric shapes places him as a progressive force in the history of art.

Visually and conceptually, his work can be associated with Celtic Art and with the work of Robert Smithson, Jackson Pollock, Peter Voulkos and Anselm Kiefer. There is no escaping the strong presence of Eyfells' Icelandic heritage when viewing his work. The fact that geologic forces of nature - pressure,,heat, gravity have created the dominant features of the landscape of his birthplace becomes clear in his sculpture.
