Getting ready for the show…

by Joe Barr

After 137 trips up and down the ladder, Kim called for help. Daughter Taylor and fellow artist Kate attempted a rescue. The Ladies, Kim Rahal and Kate Fallucca, were spending too much of Saturday setting up for their “Double Artist Exhibit”.

They measured, marked, nailed, and hanged, and hanged, and about the third time wound up with a centered and leveled piece. Sometimes it was the right distance from the adjacent piece. Taylor managed to get the right tool to the right place at the right time, and in quiet moments, texted the outside world.

A Double Artist Exhibit” opens Friday March 7, at the Pollard Gallery from 6 to 9. In addition to notable art from the Ladies, your palette will be tempted by catered treats, and professional musicians Bill Robbins and Sean Mason will entertain you.
And that’s not all.
Two lucky patrons will take home art donated by the Ladies.
The beneficiaries of the chance drawing will be two of the communities most stalwart organizations, Kenosha Meals on Wheels and Kenosha Women and Children’s Horizons. The drawing will proceed at 8:45.

Enjoy a lovely evening while supporting and enriching your community.

We don’t like waiting in lines, and we especially do not like waiting in the cold! However, waiting in line to get into the Anderson Arts Center “PHOTOGRAPHY ~ An Exhibition of Visual Images” was warming, because it meant that an arts event in Kenosha was very well attended.

Congratulations to the winners and to Anderson for the awesome turn out!!

“Don’t Turn Your Back!” Anne Elisabeth Hogh Solo Show at Lemon Street…

annelisabeth.jpg

Born on the coast of Denmark “where light changes by the minute,” Anne Elisabeth Hogh grew to understand how color touches the soul. In the spirit of Picasso, who insisted “colors, like features, follow changes in the emotions,” Hogh captures the volatile nature of feelings by juxtaposing the warmth of orange or red against deep blue and icy white. Using vivid contrasts, textural sheen, and liquid geometry to convey the perpetual flux of human emotion, Hogh’s paintings shimmer with a living, sensible force. Progressing layer by layer, one color leading the next, Hogh dresses the naked canvas in a base application of acrylic, gradually building density and texture until she achieves a satisfying level of emotional resonance and visual complexity. Central to her art is a deep desire, an “inner necessity” in Kandinsky’s terms, to relate her experience, to reveal outwardly, what occurs within-to share the light of her childhood with an admiring audience.
