Visual Passion has taken the solitary art form of painting and made it collaborative by working as partners. Now they bring the communal element a step further: painting live for an audience! The duo will be painting "The Passing 2" live at 1978 Maplewood Arts Center in conjunction with the exhibition "Off the Shelf: A Tribute to June Cater".
Selected artwork from the Visual Passion duo will be on display at the Maplewood Memorial Library from July 3 through the end of August. Drop in any time to see paintings and collages created through this partnership over the last six years.
A reception to open this exhibition will take place at the library on Wednesday, July 6, at 7pm. Meet the artists, Gerard Amsellem and Mikel Frank, and hear some commentary about the pieces on display.
