The exhibition IMPRESSIONS/EXPRESSIONS by featured artist, Donna Butnik is being hosted by the Foundry Studios at New Village Arts on April 28th, 2011 between 5:30pm - 9pm
Located at 2787 Street the evening will be filled with art, music by Hello Trouble and a reception, to be enjoyed by all.
Stop by and visit the contemporary artist Donna Butnik who paints deeply spiritual scenes that are inspired by both her dreams and the natural world around her, drawing on symbolic imagery and playfully manipulating compositional conventions.Ms. Butnik’s paintings are celebrations of intuition and tenacity of the soul.
Her work incorporates mythological figures, the beauty of nature and a playful spirit to produce images of joy. Fantastical animals, angelic characters, bright flowers and ethereal landscapes transport the viewer to the fanciful world of daydreams.
Much like a dream, Ms. Butnik’s subjects feel both otherworldly and familiar, both capricious and grounded. The use of mixed media also heightens the sense of whimsey in her scenes, with strong lines juxtaposed against fields of luminescent color.
So don't miss the exhibition and view all the artist by the artists that create at the Foundry Studios and have a wonderful time.
