Saturday evening check out some amazing art at local galleries around town. These two are going to be especially wonderful!
Sibley Gallery (3427 Magazine) - Memes amd Mirrors of Mind and Memories - 6:00 to 9:00 pm - Jimmy Block makes use of form and shape, light and shadow, in constructing pieces which reflect recurring memories and cultural and artistic ideas influenced by geometry and mechanical structures. The two dimensional plane is expanded using negative (dark) space and luminosity invoked by means of positive (light) space. Reflections and refractions of light from the materials utilized complement and complete the piece and invite the viewer to multiply the themes and memories from his own experience and imagination.
