Variations on a Theme
2nd Annual Providence Art Motivation Group Show
Reception: Friday, September 5, 2008 from 7 - 9 p.m.
Exhibit runs: September 3 - October 6, 2008
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. Variations on a Theme explores the artistic
interpretations of
four subjects: Eyes, Water, Collection and Pattern.
Participating Artists include:
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.
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.
