| Description: |
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents an Artist Talk with Erika Ranee on Friday, August 30, 2024. Curator Brian Holcombe moderates an artist talk with Erika Ranee to send off our summer 2024 exhibitions, Michiko Itatani's "Cosmic Encounters" and Erika Ranee's "How Are Things on My End". Erika Ranee’s "How Are Things on My End" features mixed-media paintings and works on paper completed in the last decade. These bold, abstract tableaus are comprised of sinewy lines, puddles, and smears of translucent bright colors, broken up by flat shapes of opaque and sometimes muddy colors reminiscent of Matisse’s use of cut paper to form compositions. Each picture is a mix of the soft and hard edges of the natural and industrial world. Ranee observes and inserts into her fluid compositions a synthesis of the cacophony of city and country life, as well as the gatherings and seclusion of her daily life. Admission is free and all are welcome. The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech is located at 330 Turner Street NW in Blacksburg, VA.
