Opening Reception Friday, April 21, 5-10pm
AUTONOMY – KATHRYN COLE (Instagram)
Cole’s most recent works in her upcoming show “Autonomy” unapologetically present her commitment to figuration, color & composition. Her vibrant palettes and eccentric compositions are entirely personal and unpredictable. Cole’s dry sense of humor sets up the viewer to use their own imagination to complete the story.
Cole believes the most important lesson to be learned in life is to “quit taking yourself so seriously.”
WORKS ON PAPER – EDGAR DUMAS
Edgar appreciates working on regular brown wrapping paper because it is so common and available. The color and shade is utilitarian, with an earthy texture. Its versatility allows Edgar the spontaneity of ripping a sheet off the spool at any size. He can crinkle it, tear the edges or make irregular shapes from it.
“I use pastel, charcoal and acrylic to create my paintings. I approach the work with complete abandon, without hesitation or fuss, which the paper supports.”
