Opening Reception: Saturday, September 10 from 5 PM to 7 PM
“I wanted to create a show that would engage and involve the viewer in my paintings.
I’m always fascinated to hear how people respond to my work, especially because my art is abstract and completely open to interpretation. I notice how viewer comments often shift my perception and deepen my awareness of each painting.
It’s an interesting phenomenon to me how we are all so interconnected and always surprising to me to learn what is going on in someone else’s mind.
As a painter, I thought it would be interesting to actually incorporate a collective viewer response on panels that would become part of the exhibit and become a springboard for a new body of work.”
-Julie Robinson
For the duration of the show, viewers are invited to interact with the work and become active participants. Each painting in the exhibit has a partner commentary panel for viewers to write and draw their responses to the two questions posed: What is the first word that comes to mind? and What is the predominate feeling you are experiencing.
Along with the show will be avideo of the pieces of the art in the exhibit. This is posted on Julie’s website and on Facebook. Also concurrent with the show there will be a Facebook photo album and running commentary.
