 The title of the show is “Seeing Red” with the color red
appearing in all of the art being displayed. The show features
photography, painting, and sculpture from artists throughout Logan
County who comprise Logan County Arts.
Lincoln artist Mitch Douglas said the artwork on display showcases
the versatility of the color red. “Red can make other colors pop, it
enhances all of the other colors in a work of art. Red is not all
consuming when paired with other colors,” he said.
 The gallery was filled with visitors Thursday evening enjoying the
beautiful interior of the Lincoln Art Institute as well as the
diverse selections of art, all with a red theme. From the beautiful
turned wood bowls with red wood from artist Jason Hoffman to the
humorous and whimsical paintings and constructs of Tony Shuff, the
show has something for everyone.
Kerry Rolewicz built a pyramid of red items from her home that she
carefully fitted together. It towered over those attending.
