Paper is a medium that offers an intimate and open field for creative elaboration, in which concepts and ideas can be expressed and can emerge and change with relative ease. Paper is a deceptively simple material that lends itself to weightier projects, for the beauty and simplicity of paper is directly offered in the theoretical and experimental process.
The exhibition aims to show the great diversity of artwork that can be produced on a paper surface using various media and techniques. With a brilliantly diverse range of styles and expertise, On Paper will showcase the artists for their uniqueness and their approach to working with such a versatile material.
Admission is free. Exhibition Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 12 – 6 PM, Thursday from 12 – 8 PM or by Appointment. Closed on Sunday and Monday.
