LOCAL ART: "emotion face" opens this weekend at K Space art space
The public is invited to K Space Contemporary Art Space for a brand new exhibit by local artist Loring Baker.
The exhibit officially opened Friday at Artwalk, but you will be able to see it until July 26.
Loring Baker captures emotion on canvas with vibrant colors and deep textures.
“It seems that we as human beings exist in the space between internal infinity and external infinity,"Baker says,"If so, then our bodies are the actual line between the two. If we are the line, the mark, the one moment between the two, I aim to make drawings that are of that line, that speak of the in between. The place where this odd human experience exists.“
Check out some of her work at her website, loringbaker.org
