From the Bellies of Birds, Ink Drawings by Seth Wade

By

Local artist and educator, Seth Wade, will be exhibiting ink drawings in his solo show, “From the Bellies of Birds”, opening at Dutoit Gallery on October 4th, 2019.

Employing a process that evokes the spirit of Surrealism, Seth’s drawings gradually emerge from scribbles, allowing the composition and subject of each image to present itself rather than being predetermined. This results in drawings that feature shapes, objects, and narratives that retain a sense of mystery, even to the artist himself.

Seth is currently an adjunct professor of drawing at the University of Dayton, where he received his Bachelors of Fine Arts, and also teaches painting at Stiver’s School for the Arts. “From the Bellies of Birds” will be at Dutoit through October.

By

Village Artisans Gallery in Yellow Springs, OH, is hosting “Laughter is the Best Medicint” – A Community Art Show – in their Lobby Gallery October 3 through November 11, 2019, during regular gallery hours. An Artists’ Reception will be held during the Yellow Springs October Art Stroll on Friday, October 18, from 6-9 pm. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public.

Laughter can reduce the perception of pain, helps people connect with each other, improves the flow of oxygen to both the heart and the brain, and can also improve job performance. We invited the Miami Valley art community to join us by exploring artistically how laughter really is the best medicine. Come see how they interpreted this theme and be sure to bring your funny bone. It’s just what the doctor ordered.
