Museum Exhibits Work By 12 Local Emerging Artists
By ESTHER HAMMER
Tribune correspondent
Buying original art by local emerging artists is a good way to start an art collection or to just enjoy the surrounding bounty.
For either reason, the Tampa Museum of Art is the place to be today. From 6
to 9 p.m., Avant Garde, a group of art-promoting young professionals, will present an exhibit and sale called "2 Benny Art."
Benny refers to the picture of Benjamin Franklin on the $100 bill. All the art is priced at $200 or less.
The 12 featured artists present eclectic styles and media:
*Shelby A. Baron combines multiple layers of text, paper, pastels and painted
images in her collages. For the exhibit, she is presenting her latest series,
"Chaos, Emily and Semi-seclusion." Inspired by the life and poetry of Emily
Dickinson, the collage pieces in the show represent the strength and fragility
of the human condition.
*Lin Carte, a master printer, has exhibited her intaglio prints, engravings,
etchings, monotypes, drawings and paintings in the United States and abroad.
They often feature images of family members, two Welsh corgi dogs and a
red-headed Amazon parrot.
*Rich Clements captures some of the light, warmth and feel of his native
Barbados in his acrylic paintings. His work is characterized by bright colors
and bold, thick brush strokes that add texture.
*Derek Curry grew up in the steel city of Pittsburgh and his mixed media
pieces reflect on the end of the industrial age.
*Mitzi Gordon focuses on minimalist details and strong colors, as evidenced in
her abstract and impressionistic photographs.
*Hugo Porcaro is known for his brightly colored, cartoon-like paintings but
also has created plywood constructions and paints on various surfaces, including
furniture, trash can lids and car hoods. He will present acrylic and mixed media
paintings and painted objects.
*Carrie Price will exhibit her small, delicate paintings on canvas. Her work
soon will be seen in the Art-O-Mat art vending machines at the Whitney Museum in
New York.
*Brandy Stark is fascinated by ancient mythologies and religions. She
re-creates old world characters and deities in sculptures of wire, metal and
found objects. She said the found objects show everything has a place in
society.
*Candace Young's background and interest are in history and science, themes
she repeats often in her landscapes, portraits and photographs.
Other artists in the exhibit are Karen Cuervo, Lorrie Mason and Ruth Mueller.
The event also will feature disc jockey duo Matt Ciafoni and Alex Lugo, who
call themselves "Funky Punk" and are known for their blend of funk, soul and
rock 'n' roll.
The exhibit is part of the museum's Art After Dark series held on the third
Thursday of the month.
Admission is free for museum and Avant Garde members. A $2 donation is
suggested for others. There will be light refreshments and a cash bar.
For information, call the museum at (813) 274-8130.
