John Carollo • Marsha De Broske Present The Figure As Vehicle
Dancing Crane Art Gallery • Bradenton, FL • March 2 - April 28, 2011
JANUARY 21, 2012 - BRADENTON, FL - Orlando artists John Carollo and Marsha De Broske will present their collaborative show of figurative artwork at the Dancing Crane Gallery in Bradenton, FL. The show will run from March 2 - April 28, 2012 and feature opening receptions on March 2 and April 6 during the First Friday events in the Village of the Arts. Additionally, the artists will be in the gallery presenting demonstrations of their techniques and answering questions from guests on the Saturdays, March 3 and April 7.
ARTISTS’ SHOW DESCRIPTION:
The Figure has been drawn, painted, sculpted, carved, photographed and videotaped. It has been depicted from cave drawings to the present, used as a focal point of contemplation from ancient sculpture through Renaissance sensuality, to modern abstraction. Meaning, emotional connection and invitations for thought, connection and understanding are often reflected through its shape, positioning or setting.
Our figures move beyond form to become vehicles for conveying messages to the viewer. They can be a voyage between worlds or time - gestural and stately, relaxed or straining with tension. Though we work in different mediums, a binding through line we share is the invitation each of our pieces offers the viewer to find a personal connection and interpretation with our work. Visitors are invited to contemplate moods of Jubilation, Inspiration, Transformation and Contemplation as they move through four distinct viewing areas, displayed throughout the entire gallery. An additional space features smallers works and a variety of gift items created by the artists.
