Quad City Arts Presents Paintings By John Born And Laura Vincent-Arnold
On exhibit through August 13, will be “Bridging the Divide,” paintings by John Born and “Internal Landscapes,” paintings by Laura Vincent-
Arnold. The public is invited to attend the opening reception on June 25 from 7-9 pm where the artists will be present and refreshments will be served.
John Born, of Bettendorf, presents a series of paintings called “Bridging the Divide,” completed throughout the construction of the new I-74 bridge. These acrylic paintings were created by referencing photographs taken by the artist, the construction workers on site and shots shared by the media of the ongoing project. The body of work is a tribute to this architectural achievement, to document this historical landmark, and to honor the men and women who built it.
Laura Vincent-Arnold, Port Byron, presents a series of paintings called “Internal Landscapes.” Using a limited color palette, these acrylic paintings reflect on how light impacts the environment being represented. The total body of work uses this light to express the artist’s inner emotions both comfortable and uncomfortable. This results in obscure landscapes that come from a mix of subject matter viewed from the artist’s inner perspective.
Both artist’s works can be viewed and purchased online at https://www.quadcityarts.com/rock-island-gallery.html
