“Color!” opens Thursday with a “power pink punch gathering” from 5 to 7 p.m. The show assembles 17 works in the mediums of pastel, oil, acrylic and mixed.
“This group show is one of the most imaginative shows we have had, especially in terms of color and composition,” said Bonny Shuptrine, owner of the gallery.
One of the artists, Bob Ichter, works on a variety of surfaces, including suede.
“The texture of suede appeals to me and captures pastel pigment in an effective way,” he said. “The drawbacks are that it is utterly unforgiving, and if you make a mistake, you throw away a $140 piece of material.”
