Creative activity

Brian Molanphy's attention to flux, endurance, transgression and history informs his art. In addition to national venues such as the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts and the Nasher Sculpture Center, international venues include el Muséo del Cantír, Spain and ʒ���Ļ��@�^ Si��o-L��ng Cultural Park, Taiwan.

A Pennsylvania State University Fellowship led to his M.F.A. degree in 2006. A 2006-2007 Fulbright grantee to study at the National Manufactory of Sèvres, France, Molanphy was also a 2010 Fellow of the Camargo Foundation in Cassis and a 2011 Fellow of the Brown Foundation in Ménerbes to create several exhibitions in France. The RAFT Foundation supported his first trip to Asia in 2018, followed by Catcher Foundation and Sam Taylor Fellowship underwriting of his 2020-2021 artist residency at �����_��ˇ�g��W Tainan National University of the Arts. He is an elected member of the International Academy of Ceramics.

Previously, Molanphy taught at Colorado College, Pennsylvania State University and the Alberta College of Art and Design. He moved from Marseille to join Meadows in fall 2011. His research on marbled clay was supported by a Meadows Fellowship in 2012 and by University Research Council grants in 2012 and 2014. A University Research Council grant also supported his 2020-2021 research leave in Taiwan. Meadows Faculty Development grants supported all these exhibition projects and more.

Exhibitions are documented on Molanphy’s website (link at the top of this page). The Nasher Sculpture Center exhibited his work Silent Partner in July and August 2021, pictured on this page.
