Art Opening this Friday at Canessa Gallery
THE ARTIST IS THE MEDIUM
An exhibition of many paintings, drawings, and writings by Akira Beard and Della Heywood in which shows the artists' unique role as a medium to bring ideas from the subconscious and the broader collective unconscious and render them into visible form. The subjects which emerge can be enigmatic, allowing multiple interpretations, or eloquently simple.
