WFHB Bloomington Community Radio
By Hand will be presenting a new show for the upcoming Gallery Walk on Friday, April 5th.
Title: “Allegories of Our World”
Artist: Bekki Canine
Description: Bekki Canine has been entranced by the rich atmospheres and colors of traditional oil paintings since first walking through the galleries of the Museum of the Art Institute of Chicago as a teenager. She has also long been drawn to objects with an intrinsic story and history: fabric from discarded clothing, old maps and book pages, forgotten photographs. In her work she combines these two interests by incorporating collaged elements into oil paintings. Through these paintings Bekki encourages thoughtful reflection about humans’ interaction with each other and the environment.
Opening Reception: Friday, April 5th, 5-8 PM
On Display: April 5th – May 25th
