Redefining Innocent Imagery

I had the chance of taking in Allen Brewer's "If not, then what?" show at the Chambers Burnet Art Gallery in Minneapolis, and the experience was amazing. It's imagery that I love: innocent at first glance - then off kilter, almost disturbing after a closer look. The show features two different series of work by Brewer: 50 carbon drawings and 25 colored pencil drawings all perfectly displayed in white second-hand frames. The show is only running through May 9th - this is a must-see!

Artist, Allen Brewer

Check out these beautiful abstract ceramic pieces from artist Christa Marie. She can create amazing custom work...who wouldn't love to have these displayed in their space?

...and a semi-related matter - The St. Paul art crawl is going on this weekend, April 23rd-25th. Brought to you by the St. Paul Art Collective, it's a great opportunity to get outside, drink up some culture, and see a huge variety of work from local artists. For more information on locations and hours, check out their website. Don't miss out!
