at ARTBOX:
Brian Myers’ recent paintings are of paper airplanes, to-go bags, and toy airplanes, set adrift in atmospheric sky scenes.
Exhibition title: ”Liberation”
“My earlier still life paintings focused on arrangements of everyday objects like umbrellas and paper airplanes painted directly from life as they lay on the studio floor. In the recent work these objects are placed in a context where they begin to take on movement and meaning of their own. I have always been drawn to make images that suggest human experience and portray a sense of absence, like empty chairs or discarded toys. To me the airplanes and bags in the sky are expressions of liberation or grace and suggest the fleetingness of life.”

at AV FRAMING GALLERY:
Emma Overman makes silent film imagery talk! The new exhibition at AV Framing Gallery in Historic Fountain Square features themes from Overman’s imagination when her characters connect with black and white silent film.
“This body of work is inspired by movies, particularly black and white and silent film. The images in these films seem more vibrant to me than the full-color pictures of today. I love the glow that radiates from the screen and all the subtleties of grey. I also love the expressiveness of the characters in silent film. The creation of characters is one of the most fun aspects of my work, and I enjoy the challenge of telling a story through their expressions.”
Hurry in during April; this is a limited engagement and will only be on view for just over 3 weeks! If you follow Overman’s work, you will want to see these brand new pieces. If you do not yet follow her, now’s the time to start. Emma Overman is a rising star in the Pop-Surrealism world. A gifted painter and talented illustrator, Ms. Overman shows nationally from coast to coast.

essay by James Yood
Afterimage, a new series of paintings by Betsy Stirratt, engages the relationship between image and the natural and cultural world. In her third exhibit at Packer Schopf Gallery, Stirratt's recent work draws upon the investigation of painting systems within these two worlds. The works in Afterimage distill a basic accessible form of abstraction to its essence. The colors that appear in the paintings, the result of a variety of experiences, symbolize the idea of a moment in time to be captured and recorded. Not wholly symbolic, the color systems are meaningful for their connotations. The hues interact, vibrating and creating a distinct "optical" result.
