Foreman Gallery Opening

The Foreman Galley Opening - February 12, 2009
My first art event for this semester was the opening at Anderson's main gallery. The featured artists covered almost every spectrum of the art world. There were several sculptures, painting and some prints located on the upper level of the gallery.
The sculptures were done by Kiki Ketchman and there were three pieces in the show, one was a collection of hanging oddities, and the other, a interesting piece with metal ferns leaves and flowers arranged on a lattice. Personally i did not relate with the hanging pieces, but the steel greenery was very intruiging as when viewed from inside, it made cool shadow patterns on the ground. This piece showed a lot of detail and was very eye-catching.
The paintings were rather boring, except when viewed closely, wherin you realize they may have been photoshopped to included little details which were quite puzzling. One painting had stautues imposed on rock walls. The photgraphs were well done, but rather uninspiring. At first i thought they were paintings, but in the end they were just photos printed on canvas.
The best part of the show, in my opinion, were the prints. Done by Hee Sook Kim, she had a very oriental approach to printwork and she had a multi-layer design which created very good depth. When looking through the collection, i would definately hang some of those pieces on my walls.
In the end, I did enjoy the pieces displayed at the Gallery Opening and they had those tasty little cracker things which really made the experience. Unfortunately, i was in a hurry to get to another meeting so i did hurry through the opening a little. I could have taken more time to observe the pieces, but i can always go back and check them out.
