ART OF WAR
Opening

Open by appointment

Studio
One Eight is pleased to announce the Opening Reception of ART OF WAR;
an exhibition featuring works by artists
Anna U. Davis, Dana Ellyn, J. Coleman, Jordin Isip, Kelly Towles, Lisa Marie
Thalhammer, Matt Sesow, Peter Excho, Scott G. Brooks and many others.
The exhibition
marks the 3-year anniversary of the war that began in the Middle East on March
20th 2003. Bringing
together pieces inspired by current events surrounding this hostile engagement,
the exhibition will include artwork that has little regard for the popular
aesthetic of beauty. The Artists were in no way censored, and simply asked to
respond to the conflict at hand. This show makes no apologies and reflects the
artistsą personal, unmitigated reactions to a subject that has affected
thousands of lives across our country and across the world. The result; a
striking commentary on war and the current state of the Middle East.
Utilizing the
multiple interpretations brought to the table by this eclectic mix of artists,
works range from controversial and morose, to satirical and thought provoking. The
beautiful, yet (in many cases) disturbing
results
will undoubtedly engage and challenge viewers.
Please
join us for the opening reception on Saturday, March 18th 2006 from
7-10 p.m.
