VISUAL ART & MUSEUMS

December 4, 2010-January 29, 2011

This December exhibit will feature new paintings by Seth Conley, as well as a ceiling installation by Jamey Grimes, all of which are White as Snow! Join us for the art crawl on January 8, 2011.

Conley has worked as a professional artist since 1998. His work, primarily oil, is a somewhat whimsical interpretation of the human
condition. Inspired by German Expressionists, Fauvism, Cubism and Surrealism, Seth reflects his love for traditional art while pushing the boundaries with a nontraditional edge. Seth's work is constantly evolving while maintaining consistency with his unique sense of form, line and color.  "My work is more of a "self impression" than "self portraits." I enjoy
working with a wide range of zymology to express myself. I want to depict segments of my life which seem common yet are powerful
cross sections of humanity." 

Grimes states "My desire to make objects is fueled by encounters with Nature and playful experimentation with synthetic materials. Reflecting on my own vivid experiences with Nature, I realize that imagination plays a powerful role, making my observations unique. My response to various materials relies on similar unique and imaginative observations. As I find unlikely relationships between memories and materials, metaphors open and expand this dialogue."
