Davenport, IA (June 21, 2017) "Art Intersected" Fine art exhibit by three local artists at the Beréskin Gallery in Davenport.
An artists' life is a journey. Obviously with their private and personal experiences, but also in the realm of creativity. And how do those two journeys intersect? You may have a grand plan for a peaceful jaunt through the country, when you find yourself more on a fast-paced, wild ride such as an expressway and all the while there is a tangle of intersections that can beckon you to unknown side road quests.
The artists featured this month, David Zahn, David Anderson, and Robert Zeidler, all know too well the detours and paths less traveled in life, having recently left their vocational worlds to concentrate on fine art. The work is the expression of each artists' journey into light, color, and form and the transitional aspects of their present paths. Each artist has control of the medium in which they portray beauty with the delicacy of simple motions of their hand. Join us in this rare look at the recent works of three artists and educators.
David Zahn, Moline, is a former teacher in the Moline School District, who spent his career creating sculptures and pottery. Along with that experience he worked in the time to paint as well. His expression of form and figure are impactful and exhibit the skill of someone who has followed his own path.
David Anderson, Moline, like Zahn, has traveled internationally. Son of missionary parents, Anderson was one of five artists in the Marines during the Viet Nam era. He is known for his peaceful landscapes and atmospheric expressions in oils.
Bob Zeidler, Davenport, worked his way through a 40 year advertising design career and all the while he continued to work with watercolor. For this show, Bob has taken several metaphorical forks in the road. After years of painting landscapes, riverscapes, and found objects, he's expressed his vision with flowers as the motif, as well as journeying into acrylics, which he finds just as stimulating as the transparent watercolor medium.
"I am impressed by how colors, textures, and transitions find their way into all the works presented," say Pat Beréskin owner of the Gallery, "Each artist has control of the environment in which they portray with the delicacy of simple motion of their hand. Join us in this rare look at three master artists".
The exhibition opens June 21st with an artists reception, open to the public, June 30th from 6 to 9 p.m. during Bucktown Center for the Art's Final Friday event. The show runs through July 21st, 2017. For additional information on the show please contact Pat at the gallery, 225 E. 2nd St., Davenport, IA. bereskinartgallery@gmail.com.
