Carolyn Miles, proprietor of Atrium Gallery, has assembled an imaginative lineup of artwork for tomorrow's opening of "Works on Paper." Stop by between 6 and 8 p.m. for sangria and an opportunity to see these pieces up close.
Among the artists exhibiting is Christopher Tanner, whose glitzy mixed-media Moon series (Harvest, Dragon, Total Eclipse, etc.), above, was created on handmade paper.
Artist Peter Charlap's 54 x 54" "Lost" is charcoal on papier maroufle (paper bonded to canvas).
Michael Marshall, whose acrylic on paper "Blue Breakers #7" is part of the current exhibition, is a St. Louisan who is head of the Art Department at the University of Hawaii at Hilo.
Chicago-based artist Art Kleinman's "Self" is charcoal, pastel and wax on paper.
Christopher Tanner's "Saved Us" and "Collette," above, are mixed-media pieces created on vintage World War II era wallpaper. A close-up of "Saved Us" is shown below.
Steven Sorman, who created the 4 pieces shown above, has work in the collections of several museums including the Saint Louis Art Museum.
And finally, the late William de Looper's acrylic on paper "Untitled 1993," above, was influenced by the American Southwest, which was a part of the country deLooper, who was Dutch and his wife German, loved and traveled to often.
"Works on Paper" opens at Atrium Gallery, 4814 Washington Avenue, 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 24. It will remain on view until September 19.
