Post 281: After the Master's Style at Open Space Arts

After the Master's Style at Open Space Arts

I really love this art show! The local Prince William County artists really got creative - sort of a 'back to the basics' or a push out of their usual painting and creating styles. Open Space Arts is celebrating "After the Master's Style" art show Jan 4-29, 2023 at the Stonebridge gallery in Woodbridge.

Photos Just Don't Do the Artwork Justice

Some would say, "why are you inviting people to come to a gallery when they can see the artwork in the photos?" To truly experience art, art must be seen. In person. Sometimes up close and personal, sometimes from a seat or standing a few feet away.  Only then can you really appreciate the work, the size, the space it fills and how it speaks to you, the viewer. Only then can the detail, the texture with no glare be appreciated.

Then again, in this internet world, many of our friends, family, and art appreciators do not live close by so this is a way for them to get an idea of what we have at Open Space Arts. Thus, a hint, a clue, a small view into what you could see at the gallery.

 

Inspired By a Master Artist

Much of the artwork on display has a label that has of course, the artist's name on it followed by "Inspired By...." and the Master Artist's name. The artwork is grouped around the gallery and you can certainly see the influences or the artist's interpretation of that Master Artist. Are you a fan of Picasso? Van Gogh? Ansel Adams? Come by and see what the Prince William County artists have in store for you to enjoy...or purchase for your own home. 

There are large canvases, medium and small to mini artworks to see. There are acrylic, oil and mixed media paintings, digital art and photography. 

By the way, those green dots on the label mean that art prints are available.

 

"You gotta love Prince"

 

 See the location and hours below and come by the gallery soon. Enjoy!
