CONCURRENT EXHIBITION
On The Surface
JANUARY 14-FEBRUARY 21, 2013
Art Saint Louis proudly presents "On The Surface," on view in the ASL South Gallery January 14-February 21, 2013. The opening reception will also be held Saturday evening, January 19 from 6 to 8 p.m.
Beauty is fleeting. A few thousand years ago, a philosopher once wrote, "You can't step in the same river twice." In a new exhibition of paintings called, "On The Surface," artist Mark Travers depicts the beauty of water, sand and rock, but with the knowledge that change is at hand. Travers uses a strong color palette and powerful titles to deliver a provocative show.
In his work, Travers seeks a different vantage point than that of the traditional landscape composition, finding inspiration in the shore as the tide rolls in. "When the surf washes in, it brings with it life, death, absolution, regeneration, and rebirth. The sea washes away impurities and creates endless second chances. You can learn a lot about life as a whole by watching what happens inside of a rectangle."
Travers writes, "Below the surface, the planet is under siege, almost entirely from man-made problems. My work reminds us to preserve what we love."
