Papercuts
10/21/2011
Premiere Showing Papercuts
Centre for the Living Arts Space 301, Mobile, AL
Oct 14 – Dec 17, 2011
Curated by Reni Gower, Papercuts highlights the work of Jaq Belcher, Béatrice Coron, Michelle Forsyth, Reni Gower, Lenka Konopasek, Lauren Scanlon, and Daniella Woolf.
Using all manner of tools and paper, the artists create works that range from narrative commentaries to complex structural abstractions. Their works are bold contemporary statements that celebrate the subtle nuance of the artist's hand through a process that traces its origins to 6th century China. Light, shadow, and color play key roles, transforming this ancient technique into dynamic installations filled with delicate illusions.
Funding for this exhibition is made possible in part by the Alabama State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the City of Mobile and Mobile County, VCUarts, and Virginia Commonwealth University.
