Rainer Waldman Adkins ~ Miscellanea: Drawings & Paintings
March 2 – 29, 2024
From the artist’s statement:
“I’m oriented to drawing as an empathic language, while also engaged in plein air and studio painting, muralism, printmaking and lettering. Of all these, I find that drawing is especially kinetic, demanding intense observation and concentration.
“Much of the work in this show responds to natural beauty and form. Being in nature is remarkably calming and ‘makes my soul sing.’ Other works show natural forms affected by human greed, insistence on domination and violence. Therefore, the tense dance between natural beauty and power, and wounded trees and landscapes.”
Meet the artist Monday March 11, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
