Provocative Artwork Lights Up PB Cultural Council Gallery

4/19/2016

The theme is "Something Out of Nothing" for this provocative exhibit at the Cultural Council Exhibit in Lake Worth, FL. Curator Nichole Hickey says that artists had only five weeks to respond to this theme—“Something Out of Nothing,” but the results are fascinating—15 local painters and sculptors have created customized work, some pieces beautiful, some spooky. All fit beautifully into the lovely exhibition space of the Council. “I try to show fresh new art by local artists” Hickey explains and that’s what she’s done here.

 Isabel Gouveia’s wall sculptures such as Bicho de Parade (Plastic Wall Critters) are spooky, yet cheerful. Nick Paliugli's has a different type of vision. His Untitled Construction (below) of a Olympic runner awes us with the beauty and smoothness of the way he jumps over the hurdles, but his Werewolf collage (below), makes me want to keep my distance!

The work of two other artists also stood out. Nellie Lou Slagle demonstrates a lovely, light abstract style shown clearly in Airbourne, mixed media, 2016 (below).  Stephen Futej's scuptural piece, the introduction to the exhibition, called Gorjeta (below) has a menacing sense almost like a living, metal "critter" As such, it's a great introduction to how to make "Something Out of Nothing."

    Dear  Art Lover: 
       Welcome back!
       The pandemic shocked and slowed down the art world for many months. But now, artists, museums and galleries have adapted. They are providing new ways for you to enjoy the work of your favorite classic or new artists...and keep on top of cultural trends and developments.
        Here in Palm Beach County art venues from the Norton and Boca Raton Museums to the Art Warehouse in Delray Beach have reopened--with new exhibitions and socially distanced, masked viewing opportunities
         For those of your still reluctant to venture out (until you have your COVID-19 "shots")--the digital world will enable you to enjoy elements of the collections and exhibitions of prestigious institutions such as the Fricke, as well as opportunities to join docents on art tours from France to China. 
         So, I'm back again! To let you know what I consider "the best" of all these opportunities. Keep an eye on my blog to enhance your art-viewing pleasure!
