The Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay has a pop-up show of love-themed art that was to inspire love-themed songs at the Holiday Music Motel. You missed the music, which was Feb. 8 & 9 and you are in danger of missing the exhibit which closes Feb. 14.
But the next best thing is to see the binder of artists' statements, most with an image of their work.In the thumbnail on Don Cross’s page I saw new details in his beautiful, mysterious large color photo composite — his piece was prominently displayed at the front of the show. But light reflected off the glass obscured some areas and I missed the full impact. After seeing his page I went back and looked closely at his work, entitled “love me…love me not.” It is great, and he has more of his own work and work by many other artists and crafts people across a wide range of prices at his Idea Gallery on County T in West Jacksonport.
It is heartening to see how many new artists have arrived in Door County, and how many resident artists continue to do great work.
Gretchen Anderson displays a metal print made in late afternoon sunlight, a haunting image entitled “Time” on her web site: www.expozedimages.com. It shows a friend after a tough chemo treatment, casting a shadow against a back wall, a hint of his impending death.
Ernest Beutel calls his “Ghost Face” image of a dog who was afraid of everything an exercise in abstract representationalism and announced that he is starting a new career as Beutel Art LLC.
Cody LaCrosse has an image of a deer in headlights seen through a windshield. It’s “The Glowing Eyes Society wreaking havoc standing in the center stripe awaiting their prey.” As of September he has become a full-time wedding photographer but he also plans to do one photography project a year.
“Lineage of Love” by Niki Kafter shows three images of parents holding their children, going back to her great-great grandmother in 1888 and continuing through 2020 and 1952.
There’s more, but my notes ran short. If you are interested in some talent you may not have heard of before, ask for the pop-up show binder.
