Gallery 527 Features Libby MacKinney and Ninfa
|
|
What better way to celebrate the Fourth of July weekend than with a bit of political controversy? First Saturday Jerome Art Walk at Gallery 527 will be opening night for a provocative show featuring the paintings of Libby MacKinney and Ninfa. “Darwin” by Libby MacKinney (left). This skull with delicate birds and flowers coming forth depicts the evolution process as seen by the artist. “Interrogation” by Ninfa (right) tells the story of torture and survival in a cruel world. Sedona artist Ninfa draws her inspiration from current events. The nightly news of staggering inhumanity prompts her to paint the story of the day. From massive tragedy in Darfur to small stories of violence and inequality in South America, her comments on canvas are detailed paintings that show the viewer her interpretation of complex problems. The artist is quite eloquent in her discussion about issues and she offers a unique perspective through her contemplative paintings on many themes. The added bonus to this work is the fact that discussion is necessary to fully understand the content of the beautiful work. Libby MacKinney’s interpretations reflect her concerns of prejudice, environmental destruction and at the other end of the spectrum, the positive force of strong women and the theory of natural selection. Her message is quite positive. “Art can immediately evoke emotion and create action for a better world without the scars of confrontation and the loss of life.” These “bare bones” paintings bring home this concept. The skeletal forms she uses are a brilliant vehicle for her message. Acoustic guitar musician Blaine Long will be performing at Gallery 527 from 5-8 p.m., July 5. Come for the usual great party along with spirited conversation about the world around us. The show featuring MacKinney and Ninfa will continue through Saturday, July 12. Gallery 527, in historic Jerome, is home to some of northern Arizona's finest artists showing their work in a beautifully restored, 100-year-old building. This impressive collection of painting, sculpture, ceramics, fused glass, jewelry, photography, and a lovely outdoor sculpture garden is a "must see" for gallery lovers. Open every day from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. and located at 527 Main Street, Jerome. For more information contact Donna 928-649-2277 or visit www.gallery527jerome.com. |
