Three Artists with Interconnected Visions

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. - May 21, 2022 - PRLog -- Forced by the virus to pause his traveling, Eduardo Lapetina was in complete isolation and spent his time working in his studio, connecting to the outside world through his paintings. "I wanted the present work to have a fresh outlook with an explosion of vibrant colors, impactful textures and messages of hope. I want my journey in art to be a natural orchestration of my experiences and emotions."

Art, the expression of creative skill and imagination, is what furniture maker Pete Rodrigues has been inspired to display in Interconnected Visions show. One sees his skill in the way in which the pieces are constructed and discovers his imagination in the design and uniqueness of each piece. "My pieces in this show display a mixture of wood tones, curves and angles that create functional pieces of furniture to be enjoyed both now and by future generations."

Lynn Wartski's work continues to be centered on anthropomorphic figure pieces created primarily out of needle felted wool over the wire and quilt batting armature she creates.  "I've found that I increasingly challenge myself to imbue these figures with their human-like characteristics as minimally as possible. I strive to have the gesture and expression of the animal tell the story rather than simply having them dressed up in clothing. I constantly look to evoke a sense of wonder, tell a story, or offer a bit of humor. My work is most often lighthearted, but occasionally my animal creations have a bit more to say."

INTERCONNECTED VISIONS will be in the gallery from May 24th through June 19^th with an opening reception in the gallery on May 27th from 6-9pm.
