“Take A Risk + Works On Paper” includes daring and experimental works of art, many of which are on paper, where boundaries are pushed of this delicate medium. From bold sketches and intricate prints to innovative mixed media compositions, this exhibition highlights the courage and creativity to explore new techniques and ideas. This kind of work requires raw energy and vulnerability — every mark made being a leap of faith.
“Take A Risk + Works On Paper” are on view at The Kittery Art Association from February 20 through March 16. An opening reception was held Feb. 23.
Also on view is “100 DAYS: FABRIC, PAPER & STITCHING,” by BJ Glanville.
“Each one of the pieces in this collection represents a day in my self-imposed 100 Day challenge,” Glanville says. “This challenge was the incentive and impetus to get me into my studio and create a piece each day for 100 days. It worked to encourage me into my creative space and surprisingly, it provided a great deal of fun and inspiration! The criteria I gave myself were to include a piece of fabric and paper from my own stash, and then finish with hand stitching to bring the whole piece together. Each day helped me to realize how much joy can be derived from being creative! Immersing oneself into the creative process shuts out the distractions of the outside world and there can be peace for a while.”
Twenty-five percent of all proceeds from BJ Glanville’s artwork will be donated to Seacoast Pathways.
The Kittery Art Association is at 2 Walker St., Kittery. Learn more at www.kitteryartassociation.org, or call 207-451-9384.
