WHAT/HOW DO WE SEE?

Art 3 Gallery’s winter exhibit “What/How Do We See?” is ready for viewing.

Come to the gallery M-F 12:30 to 4:00pm or call for an appointment.
In this exhibit, the viewer is asked to consider not only the subject matter (“What do we see?”) but also the process behind it (“How do we see?”).

As the title suggests the exhibit will explore both the “what” is depicted in the art and the “how” the art is viewed and interpreted.

It encourages viewers to think about what they are seeing and how they can engage with the artwork in terms of medium, context, and technique.

Exploration: Line/Shape/Form

We are busy hanging artwork at the gallery for the next exhibit titled “Exploration: Line/Shape/Form.” We hope to have everything in place by June 10 and encourage you to stop into the gallery to check things out. As before, there will be videos too and there should be something for everyone to enjoy.

Line – one dimensional; shape – two dimensional; form – three dimensional: all the essential components of artistry. Line is the basic building block having length but no width or depth. Thickness, direction and curvature are the characteristics that define line. Shape has height and width and whether fragmented or balanced, shapes contribute to the overall composition of a work. Form implies volume and mass and this adds to the realism and depth of a composition. How an artist chooses to create, allows the viewer to contemplate how line, shape, and form influence our perceptions, emotions, and experiences of the world around us.

The gallery is open and free to the public Monday – Friday from 12:30 to 4:00 pm or by appointment.

The Power of Art

THE POWER OF ART

Art in any form – paintings, sculpture, photographs, or
mixed-media – is an attempt by the artist to express an idea or
stimulate an emotion through mediums such as color, texture,
line, shape, and form. Art has the power to change the way
we see the world, awakening us to new perspectives, ideas, and values.

Multi-Mediums

Art does not have to be oil paint on canvas or board. Some artists
choose to create in stone, glass, ceramic, or fiber. Others choose
pastel or watercolor. Each artist personalizes their work by choosing
a medium that calls to them. The new exhibit “Multi-Mediums” at
Art 3 Gallery offers all the myriad choices that an artist can make.
“Multi-Mediums” on display through April 30, 2023.

Layered: Color and Texture

The interplay between color and texture is an important part of any artwork. The tactile quality of an object’s
surface appeals to the sense of touch. Whereas creating hidden depths of light and color with layers of
paint and glaze attract the viewer’s sense of sight.
Art 3 Gallery hopes that all of your senses will be engaged by our new exhibit!
