Alan Avery Art Company will hold a reception for the exhibition John Westmark-New Works. The reception will be from 7 until 10 p.m. on Thursday, May 6, 2010 in conjunction with the First Thursdays + Buckhead Gallery Walk. This evening will also be a special event benefiting the Atlanta Humane Society. The exhibition continues through July 24, 2010.
It may have been John Westmark’s unorthodox materials – paper sewing patterns within his paintings - that first garnered attention, but with his Folklore Series it is the imagery that draws you in. Dramatic figures and allegorical scenes culled from myths and fables are the central theme to Westmark’s new work. The Gainesville, Florida artist considers the instructional text on the sewing patterns to be a metaphor “reinforcing the notion of the story.”
The gallery will also feature a group show in support of Going to the Dogs, a collaboration of the Buckhead galleries on E. Paces Ferry and N. Fulton streets. Several of our artists have specifically created a work of art that includes a pet or animal for this show. Ten percent of the evening’s sales will benefit the Atlanta Humane Society, who will be on hand with pets available for adoption. Participating galleries: Alan Avery Art Company, Catherine Kelleghan Gallery, Copeland Collection & Frabel Glass, D.E. Fine Art, The Sportsman’s Gallery, Twenty 21 Collections/Gallery Rodin.
Alan Avery Art Company is located at 315 East Paces Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30305. Hours of operation are Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m., also by appointment.
