Thanks to the generosity of MadLab Theatre and Gallery collaboration, Ohio Art League is able to exhibit some of our members in the gallery space! From October 16 through November 1, you can catch CCAD Fine Arts student Austin Burnside’s Blue Molly exhibition.
The Opening Reception for
Blue Molly takes place this Friday, Oct. 17 from 5 to 7 in the evening at MadLab Gallery in Downtown Columbus.
Stop by this month to see Burnside’s use of industrial materials and how he combines them with his “knowledge of building to bring a new light in an unconventional and mostly corky manner.”
"My work is more about the materials. My motivations for these works deals with labor and ingenuity. I want these pieces to talk about the livelihood for blue-collar men and women by using their trades to describe their personality and who they are beyond face value. I engineer these sculptures and paintings to become fun, intriguing, or unique to describe more of a complex situation in a simplistic understanding of materials and gravity." -AB
For those of you who have friends that are not yet OAL members, give them a listen to what Austin had to say about us!
"As a young artist it is hard to get show opportunities outside of CCAD corporal limits. I expressed my concerns with my professors and one of them recommended me to Ohio Art League. I signed up to it and had an exponential rate of show opportunities. This organization has helped get my artwork out into the greater Columbus area and I am grateful for it."
Thanks for your support, Austin! Good luck at MadLab!
