Last Call

After 7+ years and 1,989 posts, I am calling it for Peek.  It will stay up as an archive because let's face it, there's tons of great work to look at here from so many terrific artists.   I enjoy perusing the old posts so I figure some others do too.  Anyways, thanks for hanging out and looking.  Here's a bunch of works by some of my favorite artists.  This is the Peek version of the last minute of a summer fireworks display, lots of stuff at once!

White Christmas by Will Cotton






Hedge by Mark Tansey





Fenster und Speicher by Thomas Scheibitz




Special Feature by Matt Lipps





Inside Out by Jen Stark




Giant by Mark Bradford




...and one of my own, Grandville by Lee Gainer

So long and thanks for all the fish!

LineWorks: Drawing Redefined

Lee Gainer, Crystal Cove, acrylic on cradled panel, 47" x 47", 2013

















 

LineWorks: Drawing Redefined

works by Lee Gainer, Sarah Irvin, Nikki Painter, Foon Sham, and Sarah Weinstock
curated by Erica Harrison 
Nov. 13, 2014 – Jan. 3, 2015 
Opening Reception Sat., Nov. 15, 2014, 6 – 8pm with an artist talk at 5:30pm

Beginning with earliest forms of communication, people have used line-based glyphs and pictograms as a way to share information. Wedges pressed into clay slabs, drawings on the walls of caves, and script writing all link our earliest ancestors to the creative process of conveying thoughts and information through linear images. Line-based drawing remains a critical component in the work of contemporary artists. 
In LineWorks, we will present a variety of multi-media works by five artists who utilize line as an essential element in their work.  all create work that relies fundamentally upon line drawing. In addition, they all explore how memories are formed, collected, and forgotten, using drawing to document their experiences. The Greater Reston Arts Center's gallery will be reconfigured into five independent spaces, each presenting a different and innovative process, expanding the definition of drawing itself.
