New show opens at ArtSaturna

Karen Muntean with three of her "Energia" pieces featured at the July rehanging of ArtSaturna Gallery.  These pieces are circuitously inspired by VanGogh and more directly by a light projection Karen saw at the VanGogh Museum in Amsterdam. (See blogpost of 4/25/15 below titled "inspiration is on the wall"). VanGogh created energy in his work with, among other things, short choppy brushstrokes and Karen's pieces, in a more stylized form and the language of colour, try for an energetic presence as well.  The show includes new work from most of the ArtSaturna members, including pottery from Tricia deJoseph, our newest member.  All work is for sale through Saturna Point Store.
