Thu 3/16 @ 5:30-7:30PM
Akron Soul Train’s new show, State of Grace, features work by multi-disciplinary artist David Maynard, that, they say, “navigates the duality of human nature and experience through themes of life and death, spiritualism and materialism, overstimulation and self-peace, and grace and cruelty.” Art shows these days are nothing if not ambitious!
Maynard addresses this cornucopia of themes via large-scale screenprints and painted works using symbols such as crosses and birds repetitiously.
In addition, some of the work features dark humor, such as a sculpture of an eletric chair with Louis Vuitton upholstery.
The opening reception takes place on Thursday March 16 @ 5-7:30pm and the first 20 people will get a free print by Maynard. The show will remain on view through Saturday April 22.
