Opening this Friday, April 6th, Gallery Neptune presents "Behme Craghead Wallace", three artists whose work is inspired by literary influences. Joining the events for Bethesda's annual Literary Festival, the gallery will host an artist's talk on Saturday, April 21st at 1 PM.
Mark Behme presents a collection of five hand carved wood sculptures based on the early 20th century artists drawing game known as Exquisite Corpse. A master of intricacy, Behme's alluring sculptures are fascinating studies in metaphor and mystery.
Warren Craghead III, inspired by the French surrealist poet Guillaume Apollinaire, presents ten mixed media drawings and a book of drawings called "How to Be Everywhere". Craghead aligns his own creative impulse to that of Apollonaire's to create new art that pays homage to this visionary poet.
David Wallace, a collage artist from Pittsburgh, uses old advertising images and text in his paintings and collages. His bold images layer font design with unrelated pictures of animals and people that together send new messages to a modern audience.
Join us for an artist's reception on April 13th, from 6-9 PM. Meet Mark Behme and Warren Craghead III on Saturday, April 21st for an artist's talk at 1 PM.
