FUSIONS-Artist Profiles

Banister Light

Reclaimed Room for Environmental Arts opens a new show on September 12.  Stop by from 5-8pm for refreshments and a celebration with Fusions artists Roland Blandy and Reddy Lieb in person.  I spent time with each of them in their studios and workspaces to learn more about how they create their pieces and what inspires them.  These profiles give you to opportunity to learn more about the deep relationship between the artist and his or her medium and the process that ensues to create this work.  Both artists begin with the deconstruction process (sometimes just plain destruction) and revive their materials with new life.  From glass works to funky creatures, repurposed  furniture and animated driftwood, this show promises to engage the senses and mind.

A big heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended our opening reception on June 27th.  It was a magical evening.  Please enjoy the photos and video in this post to commemorate the event.  Congratulations to all the participating recycled artists: Gregory Randolph Benke, Martha Jones and Aleksandra Zee who sold her largest piece just before the show-amazing!

The exhibition space is open during normal business hours at Building REsources and these artists will be on display for a few weeks yet to come.  Stop by anytime!  And, be sure to check out our SUBMIT page if you have environmental art work that could fit with our space, we would love to review your work.
