Inside Looking Out

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2021 20:08:29 +0000

“Inside Looking Out” is an exhibition of 3-D Mixed Media Collages by Barbara Solberg and photography by Tom Schmiedeler, both of Lecompton, KS. The exhibition will open on April 9 and run through April 30, 2021.

The imagery in this exhibit reveals literal windows in structures of the region and places farther afield. As windows have two sides, both reflective and transparent, these photographs and collages may also be viewed metaphorically–and inner/outer view of life and the world.

Solberg and Schmiedeler, who are married, live in the countryside between Lawrence and Topeka, where proximity to nature inspires their creativity along with travels to distant locales.

“Inside Looking Out” will have an opening reception on Friday, April 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

This exhibit is free and open to the public Tuesday-Friday, Noon-4:00, and Saturday 9:00-Noon at the Lincoln Art Center, 126 E. Lincoln Ave, Lincoln KS 67455. For more information call the art center at 785-524-3241

Kris Heinze has been an avid photographer since taking a high school darkroom photography class taught by C.R. Herpich in Baldwin City, KS. She continued her study throughout school and graduated from Fort Hays University with a B.A. in communications. Heinze appreciates and strives to capture the simple and realistic beauty of the natural world, everything from wildlife to the changing of the seasons, most often focusing on the hidden-in-plain-view local Lincoln County landscapes.

George Medcraft was a local farmer and rancher who was described by his daughters, Martha Lohmann and Anne Wilkerson, as an avid “rock hound”. Medcraft collected indigenous artifacts from his farm East of Lincoln. His extensive collection includes arrow heads, spear points, scrapers, drills, stone axes, grinding stones, pottery shards and shaft sharpeners.

LINCOLN – “ZAP”, featuring the work of Judy Love, Tom Leopold and Gene Sievers all of Zeandale opens at the Lincoln Art Center Friday, March 10 from 5:30 – 7:30, with a gallery walk at 6:15. This exhibit runs through April 29, 2017.

Judy Love moved to the small unincorporated town of Zeandale, East of Manhattan, while teaching art at Kansas State University. ZAP, Zeandale Art Project, is a little arts community giving workshops, classes and gallery shows for the past 30 years. Judy paints with pastels and is featured in The Gallery of Great Things on the Big Island in Hawaii and by the Strecker/Nelson in Manhattan, Kansas. Judy’s pastel paintings are a collection of some of her landscape work over the last twenty years. She is also exhibiting a series of small, semi-sculptural acrylic paintings inspired by iridescent beetles.

Tom Leopold recently returned from photographing life on a small island off the coast of Honduras where fishing is their livelihood. As a veteran, he has photographed soldiers returning from war and the people of San Francisco. He is currently photographing a unique construction project on the Kansas State University campus. Leopold has photographed many shop windows. He says, “When the camera is our “eye” it melds inside, outside and reflections into a composite image. I see these images as almost abstracted compositions.”

Gene Sievers is with Kansas State University’s Department of Art, Wood Shop Supervisor since 2000. Porcelain and white stoneware are the clay bodies of choice for utilitarian, wheel thrown and altered pottery. An off white surface allows for a wide glaze palette. Sievers’ Raku pots are fired with an off-white glaze, so the fractal patterns interact with the contours of the form. Sievers says, “I strive for my pots to exude a quiescent grace and elegance of movement—exploring the space in and around them with a dancer’s proprioception.” He has his work in collections at the Sabitini Gallery, Topeka, Beach Museum, Manhattan, Yoshi Ikeda, Portland, Oregon, and Emprise Bank, Wichita.
