Christopher Wynn is a master of watercolor and finds beauty in the tarnished, neglected and abandoned vestiges of modern society. He will exhibit all new works.
"...the current series of “Aging” I’ve been working on, is my way of showing “faces” and “personalities” other than literal projection of faces, as I think all the paintings in the series project a human element; i.e. the headlights are eyes, the grills, the mouth, the rust, the lines on our face, etc. They seem to speak to me of certain forlornness. That we were all once “shiny and new” and time eventually does its job."
Centre Gallery East
by Richard Becker
Tlatilco's Beetle MedresYou may have seen a preview of Richard Becker’s AUTO MONSTRO on the cover of BRICK (the Richmond Times Dispatch Weekly Art magazine) or in the Galleria Café on Main Street in downtown Richmond. Richard is bringing the full collection to Art Works in May. This colorful and fanciful collection of paintings will make you smile and take you back to a youthful imagination of monsters and automobiles.
Centre Gallery West
Highland Springs High School Art Studets
Stephanie Slater, teacher at HIGHLAND SPRINGS HIGH SCHOOL ARTS has been bringing groups of students to Art Works’ 4th Friday Shows. Ms. Slater wanted to provide her students with an opportunity to not only see art at the art center, but also create art. She scheduled a group project where the students made use of discarded and found items using doors as a base for the work. Mike Keeling and Glenda Kotchish, of Art Works assisted in the gathering of materials and general guidance at the art center.
The show will be in the Corner Gallery at Art Works through June 22nd.
By special invitation, Diane Clement will present large scale recent works at Art Works on June 11th. Each year Diane’s work increases in size and scope. Her abstract designs fluctuate from a myriad of color to monotones. This exhibit will be a surprize showing to the gallery directors as well as to the public and will be on display for 11 days, through June 22nd.
Jane Sandelin Gallery June 11th-22nd.
Jeff Hall is the juror for the All Media Show, the former teacher of the Henrico County Arts Program and current art teacher at Maggie Walker. His senior students will be presenting their work in the Skylight Gallery this month. Show runs through June 22nd.
