Eric Baillies
Oftentimes, it’s the objects we overlook that are the most elegant. In this dual exhibit in The Bubbler, the stark, powerful work of two Wisconsin artists is on display. The large- and ultra-large-format photography of Eric Baillies (pictured) elevates everyday objects — from native flora to natural textures and patterns. And Linda Levinson’s eerie photograms, on cyanotype and silver photographic paper, present an ethereal series of books framed in ghostly light. The opening reception includes interactive drawing activities led by Rachal Duggan of RADillustrates.
press release: Warm up with this Winter with art & community at the library! Join us on the evening of Friday, February 2 from 7-10 pm to celebrate the opening of exhibitions by Eric Baillies and Linda Levinson. (with live music by ASUMAYA!)
The Art of a Still Life by Eric Baillies dives into the stillness of everyday objects through natural light with large and ultra large format photography. This series of still life images largely incorporates Wisconsin plants, food and natural patterns and textures in nature with both tintype and collodion glass negatives.
The Hidden Souls of Books by Linda Levinson is a series of photograms (camera-less images) made on cyanotype and silver photographic paper, from books scanned and exhibited as large-scale archival inkjet prints.
Artist-in-Residence, Rachal Duggan of RADillustrates will lead various drawing activities throughout the evening for guests to partake in!
