Vestibule 594 presents COLLAGE CUTOUTS

A two person exhibition of original artwork by Gibrian Foltz & Anika Wilson

Opening Reception First Friday Artwalk: July 1st from 5-8pm

I’ve always had some sort of creative outlet, and enjoy passing the time learning new mediums and experimenting. At the moment I am attempting to convert strange/surreal paper collages into multi-layered stencils, and also making stenciled portraits. Having no formal training, I tend to pull inspiration from a broad range of sources – local art, street art from around the world, art textbooks and magazines I happen across, etc. I’m intrigued by learning new processes and mediums, with the only central thread seeming to be a desire to create bizarre scenes/images/narratives bereft of context, leaving room for interpretation.

Anika Wilson is a mixed media artist whose work explores life’s many dilemmas, anxieties, joys, mishaps, traumas, tragedies, insecurities and triumphs in a quirky and playful manner. She aims to create work that feels both odd and sometimes strangely uncomfortable while also being familiar and intriguing.
