Gallery I – Jerry Butler & Shelby Kahr
Folks, is an exhibition in which artists Jerry Butler and Shelby Kahr, investigate pivotal characters from their lives. Kahr uses paintings with bold colors and a comic influence to process her experience growing up in the Midwest. Kahr’s work brings humor to the challenges of life through her characters. Butler’s method of collage and painting reflects social issues through his personal lens, giving voice to those not heard. Though Butler has made many local gallery appearances (read his Cap Times Cover Story), he will be debuting new work at Overture Galleries this spring. Butler will host a Creative Play Collage workshop in the Wisconsin Studio on April 27 at 2 pm; it's free, but RSVP.
