The Wilmer Jennings Gallery at Kenkeleba is pleased to present FIGURES LIGHT AND ABSTRACTION, an exhibition co-curated by Lamerol Gatewood and Michael Marshall. The figure in art has been represented since the beginning of time in a myriad of forms, shapes, and sizes. In this exhibit, artists work together to create compositional and symbolic possibilities, and delineate elements of the ideal of figure, light, and abstraction. The featured artists are Ashley Cole, Kevin Cole, James Andrew Brown, Cynthia Hawkins, and Debra Priestly.
There will be an artist talk on Saturday, August 10th, from 3-5pm.
In the series presented in the exhibition Maps Necessary for a Walk in 4D, Hawkins studies the form of the map as an element resulting from the tangible and then interpreting the study of space for her own uses. The artist’s first source of inspiration for this series are the “Marshall Islands stick charts”, an ancient marine navigation system; those maps used by the Micronesian populations to navigate the Pacific Ocean.
