“Arrangements” by Christina Weaver

Opening reception Friday, January 15, from 6-8 PM

Join us for “Arrangements”, a collection of luminous oil paintings by artist Christina Weaver, opening January 15 from 6-8 pm. Admission is free and open to the public.

From the artist’s statement:

weaver2 I use fabric and other decorative materials as compositional vehicles for my paintings. Though faithful representation has always been essential to my work, I have been developing passages in my paintings where familiar items are transformed into something else entirely. Lighting,ambiguous spaces, and imposed gravities confuse the identity of my subjects and blur the boundary between the ethereal and the physical. Discarded wrappings call to mind rolling terrain and tumultuous weather as they change into mountain ranges, flowing rivers, and storm clouds. At the same time, fabric folds resemble something as intimate and close as the interior tangles of the body. Through these meditations on a curated set of craft supplies, I acknowledge and reconsider objects that are seen as just ornamental, aiming to elevate the frivolous into the realm of the monumental.”
