Creativity and inspiration come together in a display of talent we call art. Paintings, sculptures, photographs and more can speak to us without bringing words into play. Residents of Cleveland, Ohio; Mentor, Ohio; and neighboring cities are privy to such a display at Art Gallery in Willoughby, Ohio. Right now, works by local artists Ted Lawson and Diana Everett are the featured pieces in an art showing titled Redefining Abstraction. That’s a curious title for a special showing at this gallery unlike other local art galleries. And should you stop in and select a piece during the month July, you can enjoy custom framing at 25% off.
Art Gallery in Willoughby is a fixture in the Northeast Ohio art scene. Its operators have been enabling connections between people and unique pieces for 40 years. From paintings to prints, figures and abstract objects – you can see it and own it during an art showing or an impromptu visit to Art Gallery. Known for helping art enthusiasts find and celebrate exquisite displays of artistic talent, Art Gallery frequently hosts openings and showings that make it a favorite among local art galleries.
Redefining Abstraction is the latest art showing that residents of Mentor, Cleveland and all points in and near Lake County simply must see. The featured artists – Ted Lawson and Diana Everett – are each best known for their work with watercolors. Work that Ted fills with thought-provoking presentations of things we see and use each day while Diana embraces experiences along life’s journey. Yet, each of these local artists also has an affinity for abstraction that they are showing in surprising ways at Art Gallery.
As the beauty of an art showing is the patron’s encounter with the new as well as the unexpected, we won’t raise the veil too high today. We will, however, remind you our featured local watercolorists are known to dabble in other mediums. It’s no secret that Ted has a way with acrylics or that Diana is admired for her mixed media art. What you may not know is how these renowned artists will combine their creativity and inspiration into abstract displays of artistic talent at Art Gallery.
Beyond watercolor works and abstract art, summer visitors to Art Gallery will encounter jewelry, photography, sports paintings, handmade glass items and interesting ornaments. Jewelry makers Marie Cartor and Terry Krotine will show their creations during the July 19th Artsfest. Dean Chriss and Marilyn Dolence will present their photography all month. And sports painter Tom Solomon will display his autographed Cleveland Indians collages and paintings in July and August. Meanwhile, glass pumpkins, gourds, vases, pigs and “kissy” lips fish will surprise you and King Tut ornaments introduce intrigue as you choose the art, jewelry and accents you want to own.
Patrons of this jewel among local art galleries are encouraged to interpret each piece in their own unique way – no matter the medium. Underlying messages, hidden meanings, showings of celebration and outward touts to emotions are all at the viewer’s discretion. All the artists and gallery operators want is for you to have an experience. An experience that you can enjoy each day while the art that speaks to you adorns your home or business as conversation pieces or wall hangings made perfect with custom framing.
