Variations on a Theme
2nd Annual Providence Art Motivation Group Show
September 3 - October 6, 2008
Opening Reception: September 5, 2008 from 7 - 9 p.m.
The Warwick Museum of Art invites you to join us Friday, September 5th
from 7 - 9 pm for the opening of “Variations on a Theme.” This
exhibition consists of multi-media artwork of fourteen local visual
artists, members of the Providence Art Motivation Group. Stephanie
Schechter (group organizer) Laura Atkinson, Wayne Bridge, Deborah
Carlson, Chrystee Governo, Patty Johnston-Martucci, Nicole McDermott,
David McGuirl, Deenie Pacik, Elise Rugens, Ewa Stosik-Moers, Dorota
Streitfeld, David Tobin, and Jill Tyler will be exhibiting. Variations
on a Theme explores the artistic interpretations of four subjects: Eyes,
Water, Collection and Pattern.
All works are available for purchase and include a wide array of media
and disciplines: Acrylic, Oil and Watercolor paintings, Collage, Digital
Art, Illustration, Mixed-media, Pastel, Photography, and Sculpture.
Twice monthly, the Providence Art Motivation Group meets to provide
support, direction and deadlines for visual artists in all mediums who
need structure to be productive. At the end of each session, a theme is
selected at random from group members’ suggestions. They then have two
to three weeks to complete a piece of work, based on the new theme, in
the medium of their choice to be presented at the next meeting.
This exhibit showcases the dramatically different interpretations in
terms of style, medium and realization of the subject theme. For
instance, one artist may approach the subject of “pattern” by looking
towards nature to find the patterns in a growing garden, another may
incorporate swatches of patterned fabric into a mixed media collage.
This show represents that one’s creative interpretation knows no bounds,
and is not restricted to common vision. The artists explore deeper
significance and expression of the simple subjects.
Admission to the gallery is on a donation basis and all are welcome.
Variations on a Theme will run through October 6, 2008. The gallery is
open Wednesday & Thursday 2:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. Friday & Saturday 11:00
a.m. – 4:00p.m. or by appointment.
