Flood (v.): to arrive in overwhelming amounts or quantities

An exhibition of new work by Bradley Butler and Mitchell Messina. In Butler’s paintings and Messina’s sculpture, both artists contextualize a visual flood of emotions, thoughts, and beliefs through their investigation of light and darkness, the known and unknown, and other nuances of human existence. Surfaces that are deep and seem never ending are painted across the canvas, while the changed meaning of objects create a contrast between the familiar and the unfamiliar. Both artists use a personal vocabulary of abstraction to examine the powerful boundaries inherent in these parallels; parallels that surround and subconsciously bombard us both emotionally and physically on an everyday basis. The search for answers in their work serves to not only drive the art making process, but also to fuel the desire to keep asking questions.

There will be an opening reception on Friday, October 10 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm.

Arts Center Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Thursday 12pm-5pm, Friday-Saturday 12pm-8pm, Sunday 12pm-5pm. Closed Monday.
