RACINE — The Artists Gallery, 401 Main St., features two artists this month: Layne Peters, a potter, and James L. Neibaur, a film historian and scholar with more than 35 published books.
Peters focuses on form, surface and texture as an integral part of his thinking process allowing the clay to have its own voice, gallery officials said.
The majority of his work is wood-fired. His goal is to create work that offers a unique experience for the viewer. He is influenced by his father, Lyle Peters, who was a founding member of the gallery. Peters’ art has been featured in Ceramics Monthly and Pottery Making Illustrated.
Neibaur’s show theme is “Classic Movies, Creepy Things and Assorted Oddities” and includes drawings and paintings of everything from recognizable vintage film stars to edgier, more extreme pieces.

Neibaur is also showing several matted drawings and original, hand-drawn greeting cards.
Neibaur has been painting and drawing since childhood and has illustrated catalogs and advertisements, but this is the first time his caricature drawings will be on display.
The show runs until Nov. 25.
