Group Show: Metal, Paper, Wood
K.OSS Contemporary Art is pleased to announce its participation in Art Mile Detroit, a new citywide digital art exhibition that champions Detroit’s vibrant and diverse arts community by promoting public programs and online acquisitions.
Taking place July 29 – August 5, Art Mile will feature nearly 60 of Detroit's local art galleries, institutional non-profits, museums and artist-run spaces.
K.OSS Contemporary Art is delighted to present "Metal, Paper, Wood" , a group show by Michigan artists Mary Gillis, Larry Cressman, Cuppetelli and Mendoza, and Lynne Avadenka. The show consists of two works by each artist, 8 works in total.
Gillis’ style has evolved from large pastel drawings, collages and prints to paintings and large-scale sculptures to mixed media, work on aluminum and recycled guardrail.
Cressman's work is comprised of the patient accumulation of hundreds of sticks and twigs in intricate patterns that both delight and defy the viewer’s eye.
Cuppetelli and Mendoza create installations and objects that combine physical elements with digital technologies, composing sensual, immersive and dynamic experiences.
Avadenka is known for her works that explore text and image, the physical and philosophical idea of the book, and the mystery and beauty of visual language.
We find it very interesting to combine these works together. They are so different but have so much in common.
We hope you enjoy our online exhibition at Art Mile.
Please visit Art Mile Detroit for updates and more information.
Thank you.
