'Beauty Flat Out' Displays Paintings of Chinese Ceramics.

By |

The Art Garage, just outside of Cooperstown, is presenting ‘Beauty Flat Out’.  The exhibit features works by Diana Cook, a decorative painter originally from D.C. who creates quilt-like artworks piecing together patinaed copper elements, among others. There is also an elegant new body of work from Gary Bower: works on paper with iconic Chinese vases. Mr. Bower tells us how his exploration of Chinese pottery and his association with a potter led him in a new direction.  We also hear from Sydney Waller, who founded the Art Garage. http://wskg.org/audio/garybowermix.mp3

Louis Sherry creates fantastical sculptures with wood

By |

Farmer and Korean War veteran Louis Sherry makes bird houses, but they are much more than bird houses.  Each is a one-of-a-kind free-form explosion of color.  Sherry talks about how his sculptures take shape, and Sydney Waller of the Art Garage describes how exciting it was to discover his work. http://wskg.org/audio/sherrymix.mp3
