Rick Klingbeil is a talented local painter, who is the artist-in-residence at the gallery space above The Virginia Wine Experience on Caroline Street. He has generously offered to share his wall space with Barry Sisson and me for the month of January. The opening is this Friday night.
Here are some of the pieces that will be there:
I've been wanting to do some circus-themed pieces for a while. This is Circus I. It is a collage on canvas.
Detail of Circus I.
Another detail. I've been working with layers and transparency. The majority of these images are gel medium transfers.
This is my Unicycle Rider. Another in the Circus Series.
This is Mermaid. This started out as a collage of magazine images. I then layered stamped tissue and acrylic paint over the collage.
Garden began with a layer of magazine transfers in purple and gray tones. I built up layers of color on top of the transfers, and then added torn paper collage on top of that. The final layer of color was put in with watercolor pencils. Accents were added with black ink and white gel pen.
The opening is this Friday night, January 8, from 6:30 - 9:00 pm.
The address is 826 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.
Stop by and sample some of the amazing wines that The Virginia Wine Experience has to offer, and say hello to Rick, Barry and me!
