Solo exhibit – Ballweg Gallery, Goodman Community Center
“TRUE COLORS” AFFORDABLE ART
Jan. 3 – Jan. 31, 2017
Artist’s Statement
This show was inspired by reading an autobiography of Andy Warhol and his famous studio named “The Factory.” I learned that Andy painted his soup cans because he was born into a poor family and as a child, if you opened any cupboard in his mother’s kitchen, it would be filled with Campells soup cans. In other words, they were the background of his everyday life.
My paintings were created with an ordinary, small household paint roller teamed with acrylic paint on canvas. The object of this experiment was to explore the effect that the glorious colors we find in our everyday world have on each other. It was also motivated by a desire to produce original art in such a way that made it affordable to every art lover. All Large Paintings – $40. All small paintings – $20. All proceeds from sales gifted to the Goodman Community Center.
