SHEAR MADNESS COMES TO THE NORTHVILLE ART HOUSE
SHEAR MADNESS COMES TO THE NORTHVILLE ART HOUSE
The Northville Art House (Northville, MI) is set to open the 2021 exhibition season with the Shear Madness: Juried Collage Exhibition. Shear Madness, which runs January 13 through February 6, will showcase the amazing possibilities of collage through 62 works of art assembled by 60 artists from the United States, Canada, and Switzerland. Brought together by exhibition juror Edee Joppich, the featured work has been composed by arranging and affixing different and sometimes unlikely materials to a surface. Each artist has employed an individualistic approach to this highly versatile and accessible medium to create a design, tell a story, or express an idea or emotion. Shear Madnessinvites the viewer to discover, reflect, and imagine along with the participating national and international artists who have embraced the history of collage and demonstrated the medium’s vast potential for experimentation.
“The collage medium often involves a dialectic between concealing and revealing. This process can create drama and authenticity to a work. The artists in this exhibition have demonstrated the endless possibilities of collage, many of whom have created works I have never dreamed of during my five decades of sharing, teaching, and jurying art,” states exhibition juror Edee Joppich, I.S.E.A., N.C.S.
The public is invited to a free reception for Shear Madness, Saturday, January 16, 11 am – 3 pm. Reception reservations for a timed entry are highly recommended.
