GALLERY EXHIBITS
Brandt-Roberts Galleries
Brandt-Roberts Galleries will present work from newly represented Columbus artists Cody Heichel and Richard Lillash. Watercolorist Cody Heichel aims to capture the mood and movement of his urban subjects through quick, spontaneous brushwork using bold colors and high-contrast tonality. Influenced by early American Impressionists, Post-Impressionists and California plein air painters, Lillash’s pieces capture small moments of everyday life, whether a vase of delicate flowers or a used painter’s tool.

Marcia Evans Gallery

On Saturday, November 7, from 5:00-7:00pm, Stone Village Art Gallery welcomes local artist, Patrick Wayner, and his new exhibit, Re-Imagined Wild. In Patrick’s own words: “In this series I explore the concept of reclaiming nature. I look at the idea that humans are an integral part of nature and that together we can coexist. Our affect on nature is based on positive and negative interactions. Applying this concept to my collection, I used recycled wood to show the marriage of weather, the wild, and the modern world, over time.”
