Entities. Art by Lance Green and Michael Stearns
Michael Stearns Studio 347 welcomes back artist Lance Green for two-man show highlighting the analogous styles of these two artist-storytellers.
Lance Green is a Colorist and an Expressionist, but more than that he is a Storyteller conjuring images that take the viewer beyond the mere skin and bone of the subject and into the soul that lies hidden beneath. The greater part of his works are self portraits of sorts but all are universal in their application, expressing the human paradox of grace and despair. There is an ambiguous optimism implied in the work that speaks an invocation for subject and viewer in the artist’s secret language that brings one to rest deeply in an ultimate redemption of all things.
Michael Stearns is well-known for using organic materials such as sticks, twigs, leaves, stones, branches, feathers and shells. He taps into the source of the narrative to chronicle it while honoring its offering.
Please join us for an artist’s reception during the San Pedro First Thursday Art Walk. Reception takes place Thursday, July 2, from 6 to 9 p.m.
As part of this special exhibition, Lance Green will be offering his popular painting workshop, ‘Painting the Soul‘ Painting the Soul is a workshop that combines technique and intuitive painting.
The workshop will take place at Studio 347 on Friday, July 3, from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. Cost is $80. To register for the workshop please email michael@michaelstearnsstudio.com.
