"Monochrome: A Black and White World" Exhibit at the Frame Garden

The Frame Garden recently opened this black, white and grey exhibit from several artists in different mediums. Stop by 101 S. Main Street in Livingston and take in a wide variety of media in the show. Removing the color from a scene, or in the process of creating art it would more often be not adding color into a piece, leaves a more simplified scene, the skeletal essence of an image.  

 Artist Amber Jean is treating us to a preview of her many, multiplying, charcoal, “Zen Rabbits." They are whimsy and playful while also being studies of form and light. Monique Chiemi presents the natural world in graphite and ink. The ink drawings by Cody De Grote are very detailed portraits of wildlife while the charcoal sketches by Edd Enders are the very basic forms of his subjects.

In contrast some of George Kalantzes' photographs show the depth of subtleties through the shades of gray and also the dramatic quality of high contrast lighting.  Pastel is a media rarely seen in black and white, artist Allie Louis Thomas has taken up that challenge with stunning results in her images capturing aspects of the west.  

This diverse and captivating exhibit which opened during the July 25th ArtWalk, will be in place through August 19th.
