Point of View by Vicki Vitale
Directors Gallery - August 2020
Craven Arts Council & Gallery is pleased to present the “Point-of-View” series by artist Vicki Vitale in the Director’s Gallery for the month of August. The exhibit will feature one hundred 6” x 6” abstract paintings. Craven Arts will host an opening reception for the exhibition during the downtown New Bern ArtWalk on August 14th, from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm.
Each painting in this series was created using numerous layers of oil/mixed media and cold wax on cradled wood panels. The numerous layers of different paints, cold wax, stenciling and a variety of markings offer a quasi-3D effect to each individual abstract painting. Vicki gained a passion for this form of abstract expressionism after attending Lisa Boardwine’s workshop where the renowned artist and teacher taught this particular form of creative artistry. Vicki appreciates the freedom of expressing her inspiration with this new form of creativity that elicits different interpretations from all of her viewers. |
