Artists with a statement
Wayne Forbes has powerful
shoulders and arms aid a
boyish grin. His occupational
cohost, Fred Hentchel sits with
the antidpatkn of a small boy
Both are artist and assistant
professors of srt at Illinois
Central Collage (ICC) in East
Peoria. Hentchel is a painter
and Forbes is a sculptor. Their
work will be on exhibit at the
ArtGaDery at East Texas State
University, Sept. 1 — 20.
Hentchel is a graduate of
ETSU and a native of Paris. His
works deal primarily with his
family. The duo were in
Sulphur Springs visiting,
Hentchel’s mother-in-law,
Billie Rose Chapman.
Prior to the birth of his son,
Joseph Damien Hent-
chel painted landscapes.
"When Jennie (his wife)
became pregnant, I wanted to
do more things that pertain to
my family. It Is an endless
source of material," Hentchel
said.
The Hentchel's son developed
pnemonia as an infant. Later he
had temperture convulsions
and bordered near death. The
son is his father's favorite
model. When painting "Happy
Birthday” Hentchel depicts his
son amid thorns. Hentchel is
represented below in a block of
spiny things.
Forbes is a native of Pitt-
sburgh, Pa. His grandfather
taught him to whittle when he
was young and he has been
working in wood ever since. He
began attending Carnegie
Institute in the seventh grade.
After high school he attempted
to enter Temple University.
“My art was accepted but my
grades weren’t," he said. He
decided to Join the Navy and
see the world and ended up in
Peoria going to hospital corp-
sman School. He did spend four
yean at sea before returning to
ICC to study and teach.
Forbes' figures appear to
have the ability to move, but
they don’t. It is a process of
carving he developed. That is
pert of his statement about
what is happening now.
“Clonal Scream" is three
figures stuck together. “It
represents how people are
trapped in a circumstance they
have no control over. An that is
left is to scream,” he said.
Forbes is definitely opposed
to the current U.S. Supreme
Court decision that allows
companies to experiment with
cloning insects. “It is not a very
big Jump to people. What are
we going to do with die
mistakes? Man can create
many horrors," he continued
forcefully. The sculptor works
with mentally retarded persons
and feels that society shuts
them away. He is concerned
about how people will deal with
the errors made through
authorized research.
Both men are strong
believers in educators. Forbes
says' his experiences with
“lousy education,” helped him
decide to become a teacher,
“Students often ask us what
to do?" said Hentchel. “When
you deal with those you love,
the possibilities are endless.
There are things as tragic as
death and as happy as birth.”
“Our work deals with the
emotions and inner self,"
Hentchel added. “People must
learn not to be afraid to express
themselves. Education is the
place to shake people up. We
try to do that."
The two professors com-
plained about the laziness of
students reaching college. They
agree that the students are not
motivated in high school.
“It seems that today’s kids
are being so modem they have
forgotten good ol’ hard work,"
Hentchel Mid. “I think we lived
in a simpler time."
“It is important for a person
to know that things are not Just
handed to you,” said Forbes.
He commented on sane of his
students who, according to him
have great natural talents but
due to their inability to make a
commitment, “they don’t have
the drive." ... , ;
“Out of a class of 20 you
might have two that are willing
to work — if you’re lucky. The
rest are lazy aid expect you to
hand it to them," Hentchel
noted.
Forbes brought five pieces of
sculpture to the "show. Each
piece represents six months
work. Hentchel will be
displaying 16 pencil and acrylic
paint drawings that represent
the time from his wife’s
pregnacy through the death of
his father-in-law, B.F. Chap-
man.
The men consider artists as
more than talent. Each must
constantly strive for more
expertise. Neither man works
for the approval of others, but
for their own satisfaction.
Forbes described their work
as a “wonderful sickness. It is
90 percent sweat and 10 percent
talent." '
But it is obvious that neither
man would choose a profession
that was easier on the emotions
and strength.

"Clonal Scream"
The wood scultures of Wayne Forbes are not made to "adorn, but to haunt," says the artist. Forbes
Is opposed to the current research in DNA and cloning. He feels that society will have to deal with
the mistakes made through this, "unnatural research." His works are designed to cause people to
think about the "many horrors man can create and what will become of them."
Start with the Colonel’s “finger lickin’ good” Kentucky
Fried Chicken. Add the fixin’s: mashed potatoes,
gravy, cole slaw, rolls. That’s a real meal. Now check
the price. Surprised! Kentucky Fried Chicken .. it’s
value added.
fts nice to feel so good about a meal.
