LINCOLN
-- For their April art exhibit, Logan County Arts members
will be sharing their inspirations “From the World of Books. “ The
show will open with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, April
12 at the Lincoln Art Institute, 112 S. McLean St, Lincoln.
As usual, the LCA artists have chosen a theme that gives their
imaginations free rein, since we can be inspired by any author, from
Shakespeare to Martha Stewart. The results reflect the very broad
range of books found in the artists’ homes and the public library.
The media the artists use to express their ideas are also
imaginative and widely varied. Visitors will be able to see oil and
acrylic paintings, pastels, photography, multimedia works, and
turned wood creations.
Suzanne Faulkner, with a lush landscape inspired by Hemingway’s
Islands in the Stream, and Sharon Fak, with a tulip rendition based
on the novel Tulip Fever, are banishing the last chill of winter.
Tony Shuff celebrates the state bicentennial with a salute to
Abraham Lincoln and his love of books. Moses Pinkerton pits the
forces of good and evil with a canvas recalling Dante’s travels into
The Inferno, while Jason Hoffman brings out the beauty of wood with
turned pieces inspired by the writing of Malcolm Tibbetts, a
woodworking artist. Pam Moriearty’s still life recalls a quiet
corner where a reader can retreat for study and contemplation. Other
LCA members will also add their interpretations to the literary
display.
