The Seriousness of Purpose • A February Exhibit At Gualala Arts

“Artistic temperament sometimes seems a battleground, a dark angel of destruction and a bright angel of creativity wrestling.” Madeleine L’Engle

     A new exhibit is set for Gualala Arts in February. "The Seriousness of Purpose", is being curated by Ling-Yen Jones. "I respect and am inspired by the artist’s temperaments, and the products of their angels wrestling.  Sarah Alice Britton, Jeweler, Richard Kennedy, Sculptor, Ann Langston, Painter and Anthony Rees, Sculptor are four artists who have sparked me with their creative processes. I am inspired by the flow of process from idea to finished work.

     In exhibiting these works I enjoy the elegance of the paint, the fun of the jewelry the single mindedness of the aluminum sculpture, and the robust yet evocative nature of the steel sculptures. Each of these artists express ideas and esthetic through their very clear and well-defined marriage of technique and materials. Making and creating and even reinventing their work as well as themselves. We all continue this creative journey and make it what it is. Enjoy.
