“April Waltz Does the Charleston: Choreography in Color”
 
This month we are featuring Wheeling, WV artist April Waltz. April strives to create works that are playful in their composition while being stimulating and surprising in color. She likes to contrast the monotony of pattern against something more random looking, much like a dance improvisation in shapes and colors. She is an abstractionist at heart, and her sweeping flow, simple geometry, and rich solid colors are the building blocks that offer infinite possibilities. Through practice and determination, she has honed a precise style that lends serenity to her pieces and lets the universal elements shine through.
 
April’s exhibit will run through November 12th so stop by and check it out!

Robby’s exhibit showcases some of his assembled collages, works on paper, and hanging sculptures. He began publicly exhibiting his artwork in 1999 at Concord University, where he received a Bachelor of Arts. In 2002, he began incorporating a few found objects in his artwork. Today, the majority of his work is created with found and recycled materials. He mixes many mediums to create a diverse body of work, including paintings, art books, puppets, masks, and sculptural works. His experimental, spontaneous style seeks to question, challenge and discuss the traditional mores of art.
