Can you believe it's already time for May First Friday? Things have been hectic around here again (not complaining mind you). This month we'll have "FREEZE" by Erick Warner and Travis McElhany. It is the second showing of collaborative paintings between the two artists, working together they traded time on each piece exploring different techniques and approaches. The largely abstract pieces draw inspiration from both organic and man-made materials to unify color, texture and space. For each painting the end result is a unique blend of styles that challenge the senses and never reveals the same thing twice.
