For Immediate Release:
SHARON LICATA PRESENTS SCULPTURE IN BLOOM
In Collaboration with the Arrangers of Dimension in Art
The designers are taking two different approaches to the sculptures. A number are doing an arrangement which incorporates the sculpture while others are creating a stand-alone design inspired by the stone work. Pat Abercrombie’s red and black interaction with a large unfinished limestone sculpture will be the first to come into view as people approach Gallery 80808. Ruth Bowers will be combining a floral sea scape with the bronze sharks “Into the Deep” as Donna Donnelly works with the twists and turns of “Intertwined”. Janice Hull takes on “Whirling Dervish” and all that it inspires. Helen Samantha Martin will have lots of Lighting flying around the alabaster piece “Thunder”, while Marcia Montgomery will also be up in the air responding to “Blue Clouds Sailing”. Joy Salter will be taking a look inside with “Inner Shelter” as Betty Smith works her way around “Twisted Lady”. Pat Setzer will be dropping in on the southern hemisphere with her Aztec Artifact including the limestone sculpture “Ancient Eight”. Standing Tall by Ann Yonce influenced by “Epiphany” will provide yet another way to look at sculpture.
A web site http://licatasculptureinbloom.blogspot.com/ has been created that the arrangers visited to choose the sculpture that most inspired them. Once they committed to a sculpture, the designer’s name was posted by that image with a notation that it is “taken”. As of this date, Pat Abercrombie, Ruth Bowers, Donna Donnelly, Janice Hull, Sammy Martin, Marcia Montgomery, Joy Salter, Pat Setzer, Betty Smith, and Ann Yonce have made their selection.
We are excited to be offering an exhibition at Gallery 80808 that combines two different art forms to help “kick off’ Columbia’s Fall gallery season. In addition, Vista Studios is working with First Thursday on Main Street (also on September 6th) to make this a major art evening for the metro area.
