Fri 5/6 @ 6-9PM
This weekend is the monthly first-Friday Walk All Over Waterloo in North Collinwood’s Waterloo Arts District. And its cornerstone gallery, Waterloo Arts, is opening a brand new show.
Called Tiger Tiger, it features the work of visual artists Jace Lee and Tony Ingrisano, who say they have “been in dialogue via whiskers, fur and teeth.”
“The exchange ignited in March 2021 after Ingrisano gifted Lee a few drawings of tigers he had made in response to a set of tigers Lee was painting in her studio,” says their artist statement. “The two maintained this casual call-and-response alongside their individual practices, crediting the project as a valuable exercise in “material, playfulness, serendipity, and most importantly, finding freedom and joy in the studio.”
The result is a show of more than 100 new paintings and drawings of tigers by the collaborative Tiger Archive: “Colorful striped cats showing teeth, showing pain, showing silliness and contentment, contorting their limbs, and wriggling in paint vibrate on the page, exploring states of being through form and color.”
The show opens with a free public reception on Friday May 6. Then you can stop in to see it Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays @ noon-4pm through Saturday June 18.
