L&D15 opens its first monthly art exhibit with local artist Tom Awad on January 10. A mixture of photographic collage, paintings and mixed media sculpture, Remnants of Earth is an investigation of matter both physical and emotional. In his artist's statement, Awad describes his process "I work in layers. None of my pieces happen over night - they take time to evolve...the process of growth and destruction is always apparent in my work."
There will be a reception for Tom Awad on Saturday, January 10th starting at 7pm. Hors d'ouvres and drinks will be provided. For more info: www.tomawad.net. The exhibition runs through February 8th.
Tom Awad will also be present on Sunday, January 11 from 1-4pm to give an artist talk about Remnants of Earth as part of L&D15's ongoing Meet Your Maker series.
The Meet Your Maker series was conceived by L&D15 co-founders David Balluff and Lopeti Etu as a way to provide artists and art lovers with a forum to share ideas, techniques and information about a wide range of artistic topics. Future events include demonstrations, artist talks, and skill sharing workshops. Coffee provided.
L&D15 brings a new style of retail to the Quad Cities, featuring clothing, accessories and housewares created by local and international artists and designers. The store is located at 520 West 2nd Street in downtown Davenport. For more information, please visit http://www.landd15.com
