We recently had our Black and White Friday exhibition, the latest color-themed exhibition at the gallery. The event was actually a twist on the annual “Black Friday” an economic term for the largest shopping day of the year, the Friday after Thanksgiving, that traditionally pushes business into the black - or profit margin. We thought it would be a fun challenge to use the theme to challenge our artists and it worked. Our artists stepped up to the challenge creating some rare, unique, and wonderful works of art.
Jayne Adams hasn't worked in black and white since her college days, but she stepped up to this challenge and created three amazing pieces.
Kim Bernard became so inspired by the idea she is now creating a series of black and white encaustic's, beginning with two currently on show.
Dustan Knight created her koi series in black and white with just a hint of red. This was a nice surprise to see her stretch her skills as a fine art watercolorist.
Not to mention, Michael Palmer came out of now where and created his Favela series in just black and white ink. The show also feature Jeanne’ McCartin’s wall sculpture from the haunting “Dreams and Nightmare" series.
Even Carol Roll, surprised us at the last minute by creating a small mache sculpture and Lauren Pollaro created a wonderful small mixed media assemblage.
