JANUARY 18, 2010 - ORLANDO, FL - Artists John Carollo, Marsha De Broske and Daryl Golden will premiere their collaborative show of figurative artwork at the Gateway Center for the Arts in Debary, FL. The show will run from February 18 - March 13, 2009 and feature an opening wine/cheese reception from 2- 4 PM on Sunday, February 21.
ARTISTS’ SHOW DESCRIPTION:
The Figure has been drawn, painted, sculpted, carved, photographed and videotaped. It has been depicted from cave drawings to the present, used as a focal point of contemplation from ancient sculpture through Renaissance sensuality, to modern abstraction. Meaning, emotional connection and invitations for thought, connection and understanding are often reflected through its shape, positioning or setting.
Our figures move beyond form to become vehicles for conveying messages to the viewer. They can be a voyage between worlds or time - gestural and stately, relaxed or straining with tension. Though we work in different mediums, a binding through line we share is the invitation each of our pieces offers the viewer to find a personal connection and interpretation with our work.
