Traveling Creatures: A Painting Exhibition by Tara Zalewsky-Nease


SEWICKLEY, Pa.-  Come join Sweetwater Center for the Arts at Gallery-30- (Sewickley Herald Office, 533 Beaver Street) for a new and exciting exhibition by Tara Zalewsky-Nease. Opening Reception will be held on January 07, 2011 from 6:00pm – 8:00pm. The exhibition will be on display from January 7 – February 28, 2011. Gallery-30- is open Monday – Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm.
 
Traveling Creatures is a series of oil paintings based on the experiences of traveling and being a stranger in a place. The paintings feature the apparition of a strange mitt like creature posing in front of an exotic background. These creatures are based on textile sculptures that the artist created by embroidering oven mitts into fish-like puppets. The puppets were then Photoshopped into snapshots from the artist’s travels to Venice and Paris. The creatures were added to the paintings in response to the artist’s question of “can anything new really be done in a place where so much art has been done there before?”
