Follow on Google News | Exploring The Heart Of Nature, Celebrating The Art Of The Return Of The LightThe Gallery of Wholeness, Harmony and Radiance at Tlaquepaque in Sedona, Arizona welcomes bronze and wood Sculptor Ken Newman along with New Paintings by Gallery owner Nicholas Kirsten Honshin.
Come celebrate Winter Solstice - The Return of the Light with two award winning artists who both share the intention of bringing light into the world through their unique art. Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin and his wife Krystal welcome featured Artist Ken Newman for a special exhibit at Honshin's Tlaquepaque Galleries on Friday, December 2nd from 5 - 8pm during the First Friday Artwalk in Sedona, Arizona. Featured Artist for December Ken Newman receives his inspiration from observing nature. Originally from Ft. Bragg, CA, he is a self taught sculptor who developed an awareness of nature and a passion for wood at a very young age. Now living in Idaho, he spends his life travelling through farmlands, forests and cities throughout the U.S. to find the inspiration for his sculptures. He enjoys creating his artwork with materials such as found wood, bronze, hand forged copper and stone. Newman has won dozens of awards and has been featured in museums, galleries and juried art shows across the country. His sculptures are more than just bronze and wood figures, they are reflections of his own feelings and observations of man and nature, which are then expressed into a "story" in which he hopes to "direct the viewer's mind to a broader perception." Ken says "Although the journeys are not the same, there are common threads that connect us." His art is meant to remind us of that connection through the movement and emotion he captures in his sculptures. Among his wood and bronze sculptures on display in the gallery will be "Sunseekers" Gallery owner, Nicholas Honshin has been expressing his inner creativity for over 40 years through paintings, poetry, sculpture and jewelry. For the past 11 years his peaceful images have also been combined with the poetry and teachings of Zen Master Thick Nhat Hanh in a series of calendars, cards, and datebooks which have reached out to people across the world. Honshin believes that "Each moment holds the treasure and jewel of life in its heart." His work is both a reflection of this and of the compassion and connection he feels for all living beings. He achieves this through observing, listening and meditating on nature and expressing himself through images on natural canvases of wood and handmade papers. One of his newest paintings, "Hummingbird of the Healing Heart", the 4th in an ongoing hummingbird series will be on display for 1st Friday. Join us at the gallery Friday, December 2, 2012 for an evening of art, poetry, storytelling, wine and refreshments in Tlaquepaque at the Gallery of Wholeness Harmony and Radiance and Honshin Fine Art Gallery.
