Vibrant Wave, curated by Jennifer Vickers, will feature paintings from local artists Sophia Buddenhagen and Chandana Paravastu.
Buddenhagen draws on travel and life experiences in creating mixed media canvases with a distinctive "surf art" style. Her layered graphic elements bring to mind features of street art, though authentic renderings of sea birds and playful depictions of other animals add stratum of visual interest to the works.
The larger scaled paintings by Paravastu also draw viewers in with their vibrant hues. Her painterly canvases feature ethereal backgrounds that provide a restrained ground for the fluid, graceful forms that comprise the central elements of her compositions.
On view through Sept. 8.
Chandana Paravastu, Fuschia Field, oil on canvas, 48 by 48 inches, 2011.
Sophia Buddenhagen, Pondering, mixed media, 36 by 36 inches, 2011.
