Art Exhibition : "Euphoria - Eclipse"
to
16 West Marketplace 16 Church Ave. SW, Roanoke, Virginia 24011
Fleda A. Ring Artworks is proud to present "Euphoria - Eclipse" , new artworks by Mary Beth Lee. Each piece in this collection - intricate and complex, yet sprawling in scope - seems to push against the physical surfaces in which it is contained. The results are works that act as emotional windows to the creative forces which engendered them, an evolving, effective type of "organized chaos".
Mary Beth Lee is an artist driven by mental energies. "The ideas for all of my artworks are rooted in my inner thoughts and memories," she says. As a self-described driven individual, her pieces are often expressions of the inner joy that she experiences daily.
But despite the strong energies and movement on display in the collection, what can be viewed in the final pieces is only a small portion of the creative impulse that is being channelled.
"My inner thoughts and memories can only be glimpsed in my final pieces," she says. "My ideas are constantly evolving, and the outcomes are often entirely different from the original visions I first have when approaching a blank surface." Mary Beth Lee believes that the image of an eclipse is suitable for her work, because just these types of astrological events are beautiful, they also obscure the sight of the celestial bodies, or universal forces, that allow them to happen.
Join us on Friday, February 3rd from 6 pm to 10 pm to celebrate the opening of "Euphoria - Eclipse". Meet the artist, enjoy libations, light snacks and creative community.
