Nov 7th Feature Show: A Perfected Communion

Up until now you have probably only seen two or four of this series in person. This is the entire series. That’s 12 paintings! I am excited about being the featured 2-D artist at this show. If you are coming, please reply below or confirm on the Facebook event page.

On November 7, 2008, from 6-10 pm, as part of Indianapolis Downtown Artists and Dealers Association (IDADA) First Friday gallery tour, wUG LAKU’S STUDIO & gARAGE will host the opening of the exhibit, Action, Unification: A Perfected Communion. Wug’s studio is just east of the interstate and Massachusetts Avenue near 10th Street and is open on IDADA First Fridays or by appointment. For more information or to schedule an appointment contact Rachel or call Wug at 317-270-8258.

If one could see the remnants of the past fade as the present took place, how would this be composed? . . . I have created this imaginary experience with bone joints that are juxtaposed in order to capture action and unification. . . In the ideal joint, there is a true freedom for its members. . . Due to this infinite uniqueness of action, a perfected communion arises between its members.

I have always been drawn to natural, organic objects and choose to portray them with oil on textured surfaces. Often, I present my subject in "dynamic still life" with a shift of time through movement or growth-decay. I am originally from the rust-belt city of Rockford, Illinois. I left the manufacturing town to study fine art at Asbury College and find inspiration among the rolling hills and forests of rural Kentucky. Although consistently representational, I strive to create subtlety layered visual and philosophical metaphors. In 2005, I returned to the country's heartland where I am active in the local art community of Indianapolis, Indiana. Next to oil painting, my greatest passion is helping others appreciate art by teaching private classes.
