Follow on Google News | City Works – Art Exhibit and Book SigningStyles collide in a visual conversation about urban life. Bold, colorful and expressive, US cities are personified as The Art Monkeys take us on a tour of America. City Works exhibit runs March 9 – 31, 2013
By: Monkey DO Studios “There is nothing like the vibrant mosaic of a city.” says Gascot. “Cities are diverse and ever-changing… Individually, John and Mary’s styles are distinctively different. MG is best known for her colorful and energetic brush-work, while Gascot’s signature style combines saturated color fields with bold lines. Together, the pair executes a unique style that is expressive and fluid. They refer to their paintings as “ongoing conversations.” The Art Monkeys’ current conversation on city life began some months back while working on their first children’s book, USA to Z: Artful ABC’s for Kids of All Ages. The interactive alphabet book comprised of colorful city renderings was published by Sunbury Press in late November. Several of the small original paintings featured in USA to Z will also be on exhibit and for sale during the show. Free and open to the public during Studio 4’s normal business hours, Wednesday to Saturday from 11-7 pm and Sunday from noon – 5 pm, the City Works exhibit runs from Saturday, March, 9 – Sunday, March 31, 2012. An opening reception and book signing will take place on Saturday, March 9, from 6 to 9 pm in Studio 4 of the Workhouse Arts Center, which is located at 9601 Ox Road, Lorton, VA, 22079.
