May 18, 2017: Art Reception – Climate Change at The MAIN

May 18, 2017 07:00 pm

Residents are invited to attend a free public art reception for the art exhibit “Climate Change” by Sart. Participants will enjoy light appetizers, entertainment and a chance to meet the artist.

Sart specializes in abstract aerosol dreamscapes where he displays his technical skills and manipulation of aerosol paint. His paintings evoke a sense of depth and translucency by layering thin mists of paint on a two-dimensional flat plane. A reoccurring theme in his paintings is the colibri (Spanish for hummingbird), which can symbolize fearlessness or be seen as messengers from the afterworld. This symbol combined with streaks of color make this collection of paintings fearlessly unique.
