Opening Reception for Joyce Weidenaar: Color Burst

Meet the artist and enjoy light refreshments while viewing Weidenaar’s brightly colored paintings and monoprints.
Pleiades Gallery is proud to present Color Burst, an exhibition of Joyce Weidenaar’s paintings and prints. Weidenaar’s paintings typically depict everyday subjects that often go largely unnoticed. It is the focus on those objects, front and center, which heightens the viewer’s awareness and appreciation. Their shapes are inherently interesting and the works are often brightly colored. Recent subjects include calla lilies, a display of fans, and the window of a cowboy hat store. Close up, or with unusual perspective, these paintings take on abstract qualities as well. While the objects in Weidenaar’s paintings are realistically rendered, her monoprints are abstract and emphasize rich textures.
