Russ Traver’s vibrant acrylic paintings portray dreamlike landscapes, often featuring quirky and fantastical creatures. This collection is part of Traver’s Garden of the Moon series: images featuring recognizable settings that include surprising characters. Through it, Traver hopes to “take viewers to a wondrous land of pure beauty where there is no beginning or end.” A self-proclaimed surreal-fauvist artist, Russ Traver strives to combine the dreamlike quality and distorted reality of Surrealism, with positive expression achieved through the strong color of Fauvism. The artist believes, “it is the regression of the mind into the past by which we discover images of the future.”

Gadsden Arts exhibition admission is $5 for nonmember adults (free for museum members, children ages 17 and under, and everyone on first Saturdays)

Press Release:

REVITALIZATION

Tallahassee FL ––– Venvi Art Gallery is pleased to present Brinda Pamulapati’s solo exhibition, “Revitalization”. Emerging triumphantly out of this challenging time, Pamulapati brings new light and inspiration to the gallery for her second solo exhibition. “Due to the coronavirus, I got a chance to slow down, get grounded and refreshed,” she explains. Her vibrant, abstract compositions will be on display, August 6th through 25th of 2021.

Pamulapati focuses on creating movement in her paintings through the careful manipulation of acrylic paint on canvas. Her paintings are also full of textures and patterns, especially in her newest piece, Saree Series 4. In this painting, she has incorporated a deep red colored saree, embroidered with gold details, that provides a beautiful pattern and texture. But she has taken it a step further and elaborated upon this pattern to create a composition of her own. In this painting, as well as most of her others, it features a series of layers that result in dynamic, raised forms of acrylic color.

While the world slowed down and normalcy was put on hold, Pamulapati had time to reflect on her work and explore new ideas. Due to this time of creative exploration, her exhibition will feature new paintings that explore mixed media in her Saree Series. Inspired by the culture and artistry of her home country, India, she has incorporated silk sarees that are woven with gold and silver threads, into these paintings. She began with an antique saree given to her by her mother that is nearly 50 years old. These compositions serve as a unification of her usual style and a new, deeply meaningful element.

Pamulapati draws inspiration from many areas in her life. Her attraction to the use of bright colors, “is the result of my upbringing in a tropical place,” she says, “where clothes, flowers, everything has bright colors.” Additionally, her well-trained eye from years of painting and curating shows have guided her creations skillfully. Pamulapati not only has a background in fine arts but also in mathematics. Her wide-reaching background influences her work and allows her to be calculative in her process towards creating her desired final product.

Born in India, Pamulapati has been a part of the Tallahassee community since 1999. Here, she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Mathematics from Florida State University. After her accomplishments at FSU, she then went on to study under the acclaimed artist Prof. Jacob Pichhadze in Toronto. Along with her previous solo show at Venvi in 2018, her work has also been shown at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts during Asia Culture, Tallahassee City Hall, the Ronald McDonald House, Toronto, and the Yazi Gallery in Toronto. She is also an art column writer and an entrepreneur as the owner and founder of Venvi Gallery since 2015.

“Revitalization” will be open August 6th through 25th with the opening reception on the 6th from 5-8 pm. Venvi Gallery is located at 2901 East Park Avenue Tallahassee, FL 32301. For more information about the show please visit www.venviartgallery.com.

In its 33rd year, ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival will be held in concert with National Arts and Humanities Month. Produced by the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County and presented by Grand Boulevard Town Center, ArtsQuest provides an opportunity to view and purchase original art from more than 150 artists from around the country. To learn more, visit CulturalArtsAlliance.com/arts-quest.

About Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County

In May 1989, a group of artists and volunteers led by Susan Foster, Jan Clarke & Jeff Ellis organized the first Grayton Beach Fine Arts Festival (now ArtsQuest Fine Arts Festival). Two years later, Foster and Hilda McDonald coordinated a children’s art festival, eventually called the Flutterby Festival. Both events were designed to showcase local artists and raise money for after-school children’s art classes. Because of the success of these events, it became necessary to form an organization through which grants and scholarships could be awarded, and the Cultural Arts Alliance (CAA) was founded in 1993 as a 501 (c)3. In over two decades, the CAA has grown exponentially, fine-tuning these traditions while adding programs, events and services and growing into a leader in the community with a mission to support the arts through leadership, advocacy, funding, programs and education.

In 2008, the CAA received designation by the County and State as the official Local Arts Agency (LAA) of Walton County and was designated as the administrator of all revenues from the sale of the Florida Arts license plates in Walton County. The CAA headquarters is the Bayou Arts Center where over 200 art classes are offered every year to adults and children. The CAA produces the 30A Songwriters Festival, Valentine Tour of Homes, ArtsQuest, Under the Sea fundraiser for the Underwater Museum of Art, and the Flutterby Festival. Tens of thousands of dollars are awarded annually to teachers, students, artists and arts organizations through the CAA’s Art For All Program, which is funded through grants and net proceeds from events.
