Concurrent Solo Exhibits - Christopher Lane & Tanya Craig |
In his exhibit, United We Stand, Columbia based artist Christopher Lane presents a collection of expressive, contemporary paintings that emphasize a unity amongst us, regardless of party, ethnicity, race, religion, and gender. The featured works speak to a resistance of divisive rhetoric and a pursuit of equality and basic human rights. Local artist Tanya Church-Craig presents All the Colors Between Black and White, a collection of fused glass works, ranging from functional pieces, such as bowls and platters, to abstract decorative works. Her pieces are characterized by bright, mesmerizing colors, geometric shapes, and dichroic designs.
