Gallery Walk Opening Reception for ROCK MUSIC. Limestone sculptures and reliefs by Mike Van Vooren.

For the past thirty-five years Mike Van Vooren has been carving limestone.
He is also an avid amateur musician who plays guitar, bass, saxophone, and drums
and compares his approach to sculpting limestone to that of an improvising jazz
musician. This show represents some of his limestone carving from a musical
perspective.
Mike has produced visual art in many media including drawing, pastel, oil,
acrylic, digital photography, and limestone. His work is represented in collections
world-wide.
Upon graduating with a degree in English Literature in 1972, he
immediately began an intensive and ongoing self-instruction in visual art and
art history. He moved to Bloomington in 1974 where he was a founding
member of the Artist’s Co-op of 25 community artists, graduate students
and instructors at Indiana University.
