Mark your calendars for Friday, October 1st! We're having a First Friday party to show off our latest installment of art: Natural Born Colors. Come over for a cocktail and a light appetizer before you head out to see what the rest of the Crossroads Art District galleries have to offer.
Friday, October 1st from 5-8.
About the artists:
Alison Moyna Greene holds a BFA in Fiber from the Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Although Alison specialized in Fiber throughout her education her artwork is truly multidisciplinary and involves almost all mediums of visual art including sculpture, weaving, painting, dying, metal construction, drawing and often incorporates natural materials. A common theme in her work is organic abstraction, where she both appropriates and incorporates natural forms. Though she may borrow from nature, she also reconstructs and invents through her instinct and insight of how natural forms express themselves.
Nathan Elliott Sutton holds BAs in Studio Art and Art History from the State University of New York at Buffalo and as of September 2010, an MA in Art Conservation, Specializing in Paintings Conservation, from Buffalo State College. Nathan focuses on painting on open-weave supports such as aluminum screen, burlap or polyester to create sculptural painted surfaces. Nathan's paintings most often are direct translations of digital photographs taken when he goes on road trips or drives. The paintings are both personal memories of these trips and meditations on light, movement, time and materials.
