2020 is here! The year started off with a 2020 Visions art show and performance. It was great to celebrate with an awesome group of creative people. Venus made some beautiful cake art.
On January 10th, my friend and I went to the first Franklinton Friday of the year. Franklinton Friday is one of my favorite events in Columbus. On the second Friday of every month, galleries and studios open to visitors excited to celebrate creativity.
The first spot we went to was No Place Gallery for the opening of Jacob Mason-Macklin’s show PURE HELL. The show consisted of a series of paintings depicting deep beautiful characters.
“Flesh transforms into masks adorned with war paint and threads are razor sharp. The Night-Prowlers are dressed to kill. Paint runs like an out-of-tune solo; a last-ditch frenzy caked on like cheap make-up. Brushstrokes animate the monkey on the back and record the unscratchable itch. Underneath PURE HELL is an urge to unleash. The house has burned down and what’s lying beneath the ash is waiting around the corner.” - No Place Gallery
Next we saw Exploration, Experimentation, Exploration, Explanation! works by Nikki and Matt Swift at the Vanderelli Room.
