Off the wall
curated by artist Melissa Stratton Pandina highlighting local muralists
March 30 - April 29
Opening Reception on Arts Night Out
We are living through a Mural renaissance. Between mural festivals, Municipal investment and private commissions drab spaces are now dripping with color. Murals are the place were fine art and street art combine. Fine artist and Graffiti artist are coming together to share skills, visual languages and create a vibrant art seen.
But what do these creative do during the cold months when outdoor painting is not an option…. They return to the studio. Off the wall is an exploration of how muralist create art in their “off time.” This collection includes graff work and abstract work, Realistic and stylized work. By comparing their mural work to their studio work, one can see more of the thought process behind the making of art. For while the technique differs, the mind behind it remains the same.
