“Chat, Sip & Pull” at 20 North Gallery
On Saturday, November 2, from 4 – 7 p.m. 20 North Gallery will host artists Michelle Carlson and Bill Horvath for an Artists’ Talk including an interactive screen printing demonstration.
The artists of the Falling Into Place exhibit will offer insight into their processes, inspirations and the symbolism used within their artworks currently on display at 20 North Gallery. Michelle Carlson, whose Boy and Blanket series employs a mixed media approach to colored pencil, screen printing and imitation gold leaf techniques, will share reflections on the iconography and color symbolism in her work while leading an interactive screen printing demonstration. Guests are invited to pull their own screen printed proof using imagery from Carlson’s Boy and Blanket Series. Bill Horvath, whose “gravity-abstract” ink drawings are composed and displayed so they may be rotated and viewed from any angle, will provide engaging commentary on his reactive creation process and his own handling of symbolism in a composition that mixes abstraction with reality.
An open house reception will begin at 4 p.m. Michelle Carlson will present from 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. Bill Horvath will speak from 6 – 6:30 p.m. A question and answer session will follow each artist’s remarks, after which guests are invited to enjoy further conversation with the artists until 7 p.m. The event includes complimentary light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar, with exhibition-themed signature drinks, by Venue.
Free and open to the public.
