A New Exhibit Opening!!!
Come celebrate color, a new exhibit with works by Don Kennedy, an Ahwatukee graphic artist. The exhibit will open on July 2 and will stay open until August 5. Here is a short bio about the artist:
A Giclee by dk
Don Kennedy was born and raised in a small farming community in central Indiana. After high school, college and a short time in the army, he began a business career.
After spending his income producing years as a commercial property and casualty insurance agent, all the while fooling around with oils and pencil from time to time, Kennedy went into computer generated graphic design work upon retirement. That evolved into the pursuit of digital art as a hobby. It's a lot of fun in that it's possible to work quickly, make changes quickly, and for only the cost of one's time. You don't need all of the tools those other artists must use, you know. Very clean and simple.
The art is of the abstract genre for the most part. (This artist doesn't have the patience to do realistic or "photographic" art work. It's too confining and time consuming). Reason being, that it allows you to work with brilliant colors or pastels as the mood arises. Since this artist is color blind, he works in the more vivid colors of the spectrum. They're easier to see. And, to the artist, very pleasing to the eye. We live in such a beige world that a splash of brilliant color is welcome. You know how you react to a butterfly and to the occasional colorful bird which passes your way. You appreciate the color, don't you? It breaks the monotony of the greens and beiges.
Something Tom Stoppard said gave this artist a chuckle... It goes like this: "Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork and picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art." Kennedy wonders what Stoppard thought of Jackson Pollock's work.
The exhibit is open during normal operating hours (Summer) and admission is always free.
