Art All Night Events
Artist talk and meet and greet with solo artist Lois Kampinsky.
Years ago, Lois Kampinsky was part of a research and writing team that created “Chocolate: History, Culture, and Heritage” for Mars, Inc. and the University of California. She then used many of the facts to underlie her written and painted fictional account of the chocolate trade in 18 th century Spain and France—one that alludes to the real and very dark world that supported the refined atmosphere of drinking chocolate.
Artist talk by duo artist Wayne Paige.
By imagining and projecting the animal’s point of view, Wayne has created paintings of silhouette-like figures and animals inhabiting mythical landscapes of mountains, waterways, and woodlands. Within a sun-drenched pointillistic setting, the beings can be seen flying, floating, and fleeing from an undetermined outcome.
Calligraphy demo by Freda Lee-McCann.
A very brief history of the Chinese writings, the brushes and ink will be given. The Oldest primitive form of Chinese writings is traced back to the 18th Century BC. My demo here will be a poem written by Li Bai (701-762) in the 8th Century Tang dynasty titled ‘Night Thought’. The characters will be in the cursive style. The cursive style has been around since 213 BC.
Art demo by Sarah Matthews.
Sarah will show visitors how to create and print with ArtFoamies. These unique stamps are created from original art. ArtFoamies can be used to create all sorts of art, craft, and home decor projects. Join us for a demo on how to print with ArtFoamies with different inks on paper and fabric.
Artist talk by Suliman Abdullah.
Born and raised in Washington D.C., Suliman uses photography as a tool to express and represent meaningful aspects of humankind. As an artist, he incorporates different elements such as nature, patterns, textures, colors, and anything that comes to the imagination. Photography is the passion that connects him to the environment and those around him.
For the past eight years, what has kept him pursuing the art of photography is having fun. Some of the artist mantras that he follows as an artist are listed below.
· Exercise your creativity!
· Use your daily activities, or work to help elevate your craft.
· Keep your camera ready.
· You know better than your last photo!
· Having fun with the process!
· Be consistent with consistency
