Ronald Peetz: Work in Progress
Feb. 11 - Apr. 2
Features sculpture and mixed media pieces, in which the artist delights in incorporating puns, word play, and irreverent humor. His work leans heavily towards social critique and parody, blended with a lighter touch of humor and surrealism. Equally present is his interest in the history of art, particularly his own 20th century inspirations, from René Magritte and Marcel Duchamp, to William T. Wiley, one of his friends and mentors.
Bussie Parker Kehoe: A Curious Garden
Jan. 10 - Feb. 28
Features mixed media artworks that walk the line between painting and sculpture. The artist painstakingly pours discarded household paint into stacks of colorful circles and layers them, sometimes cutting the dried paint peels to create an irregular colorful patchwork. Reminiscent of the patterned Korean textiles from her youth, she creates a lively ‘quilt’ full of texture and movement that seems to escape from its base.
Seconds Sale
Feb. 7 - Feb. 28
What do you do with an artistic experiment, works of art with small flaws, too many of one item, or overstock that your studio shelves are insisting you take care of? You have a ‘seconds sale’! Find unique works of art (such as ceramics, paintings, textile art, and more) from more than 25 professional artists, including Jennifer Nachmanoff, Tanya Lieberman, Marjan Kluepfel, and Marlene Lee. Located upstairs in the Learning Center.
Quilled Paper Art by Kathy Canfield Shepard
Jan. 10 - Feb. 28
Features intricate three-dimensional works of art made from paper. The artist uses her own designed papers, incorporates her skills as a graphic designer and watercolor artist, and uses seed beads and other found objects to highlight her designs. On display along the stairway.
