Framations Art Gallery: Friday, 17 August 2012
Framations Art Gallery is proud to present new exhibits opening on August 17 and continuing through September 20. The exhibit in the Main Gallery, entitled "Rendezvous en France" is a collection of work by Serena Boschert, Cindy Banes Burkholder, Marion Burkholder, Renea Erickson, Mary Grellner, Jeanne Rohen and Joyce Spezia.
Lovers of Paris and all things french, they are a group of ladies who have been gathering from time to time to share stories, create all types of art, and laugh through all of it. "The romance of the belle époque period, days of King Louis and Marie Antoinette, and the haute couture of Paris itself was the inspiration that brought all of us together for this exhibition. Our art is a reflection of our soul singing in melodic tones presented in a variety of mediums - watercolor, collage, acrylic, photography and various forms of multi-media," stated Banes-Burkholder.
A part of this group, Joyce Spezia will also will be displaying work in Gallery Two, along with artist Kate Cuba. Spezia, whose work incorporates a wide range of subject matters, will display paintings in several mediums, including acrylic, pastel, and pencil drawings. Cuba's work will focus on those she has created depicting scenes of St. Charles, en plein air. This in fact is also a French term, meaning "in the open air" and refers to the style of painting created by artists on site, painting while the lighting of their subject changes right before their eyes.
The Opening Reception for these exhibits is on Friday, August 17 from 6-8 pm. As that is also the first day of Festival of the Little Hills in St. Charles, Framations is offering a special promotion for the weekend. The French theme coincides with the Festival, as the name "the Little Hills" comes from the original naming of the area by Louis Blanchette as "Les Petit Cotes," French for "the Little Hills." Hours: Tues - Sat 10-6, Sun 12-5, Closed Mondays
