KIND OF BLUE
Blue is the color of trust, responsibility, and relaxation. Depending on the tone, blue represents loyalty or authority. Within blue’s emotional range is the capacity to evoke calm and serenity. Metropolitan Richmond Artists Association members use blue to call forth these emotions.
HONORING & LOVING STELLA BLANKENSHIP
A show of life, letting go, grief, and honoring a short-lived legacy of spirit. Jill Powell, great aunt to Stella, whose life ran only 25 days, expresses the family’s joy and pain in celebrating Stella’s short, but impactful life through her art.
DEAR TALA
Tala Poosti draws inspiration from poetry by Rumi, Ferdowsi, Hafez, and others. Her colorful acrylic paintings, often done in the Herat style, share stories and history whether done on canvas, wood, or on bricks.
LOVE LETTERS WRITTEN FROM THE OLD INKY PEN THAT IS MY HEART
Art is often seen as an introverted, solitary experience involving serious thought and messages. Frequently overlooked are the examples of the lighter side of human existence – comedy. Art, like life, is a balance between comedy and tragedy. Richard Nickel’s work is intent on revealing the purpose of humor in art and to show that art, comedy, and tragedy are dependent on each other for a deeper understanding of the human condition.
