SOMA Figural Collabrative Exhibition

So, this past Friday night, January 16th, myself and  seven other local artist's held an exhibition of recent figural works at the Anna Eaton Stout Gallery on the campus of Brescia University.

John Atkinson, Monty Helm, Dianne Albin, Charles Shoemaker, Carrol Bosko, Larry Simpson, and Annie Shultz, along with myself hosted the exhibition of figural works. Each of us have our own distinct style, which made for a diverse and interesting show.

Our fellow artist, Charles Shoemaker, pulled double duty; as he also was there with his band Hounds and Horns to provide some great tunes in the reception area. Another great local band, Ted Tyro, was an opening act that got the evening going.

For myself, and I think the others would concur, the night was a spectacular success. The crowd was large and enthusiastic about our work and impressed with our show.

I was very happy with the response my work generated. These figural pieces were a new direction for me, as I'm mostly known as a landscape painter, and judging by all the positive comments I received throughout the night, I will be continuing with more figurative work in the future.
