Framations: Friday, 8 April 2016
As we approach each
spring, there is always the thought to how volatile the season may be any given
year. Spring brings thoughts of new life, beauty and reemergence after the cold
and bleakness that signifies winter. But when we see the new life coming forth
with spring, we can also train the eye to notice the things that do not come
alive again. While we look for what is new, we often notice also the decay and
ruin left by winter or in other ways, the destruction of time. With this train
of thought, Framations Art Gallery has invited artists to enter work in their
current exhibit, Ruin and Revival.
This theme was open
to all mediums and open to artists interpretation, so will be another exciting
exhibit to view at Framations, located on Historic Main Street in St. Charles.
With proximity to the Missouri River, the affects of weather and flooding are
always on the minds of the owners. "Each spring we wonder what
storms may bring to this area. We have seen flooding several times in our ten
years on Main Street, as well as the tornado that tore through the area a few
years ago" remarked Sarah Merideth, one of the two owners at Framations.
"I feel like the best we can do is to be prepared and enjoy the beautiful
weather when we have it and always hope it will continue".
Visitors to the
gallery are invited to come during the Opening Reception on Friday, April 8
from 6-8pm and plan to have their dinner or drinks on Main Street, as there are
many options within walking distance. At the Opening, there will be a
variety of free food and beverages available. Framations also invites the
public to vote for People's Choice in the Ruin and Revival exhibit when they
visit. The voting continues through the full length of the exhibit, which ends
on May 19.
Running the same
dates April 8 - May 19 in Gallery Two is an exhibit of Mixed Media work by
artist Coleen Breen. Recently, Coleen's work focuses primarily on florals,
using textures, layers and often metallic media to give a subtle yet striking
feel of depth.
