Opening Night for Black and White


For this artist deliberate investigation of the subject Black and White is not one simple thing about color. Black and White becomes a forum of investigation far reaching, is it day or night, positive or negative, life or death, race, balance, good or evil, void of color. Color can be far reaching; touching on tradition, upbringing, idealism, socialism, world context, there is no one nature of Black and white. So an art show could be endlessly diverse in conversation and visual stimulation.

Monochrome color and black and white is what the show displayed except for the piece Interconnected that had raw red on it. The controversial pieces, B&W News Project is a collection of 3 TV pictures in monochrome blue, red, yellow, of the earlier style with drawings as the picture. The pieces in depth had much to say, and where more than interesting interpretation on world events. The quality and expertise of Tom O’Brien’s, Storm Child was evident and won first place. The pieces seemed grouped in similarity and the show was packed with pieces.

Life Springs in City Park

Posted on by

The Post Star Local / Regional on Thursday July 1st
Glens Falls City Park is getting some new Life today, in the form of its first metal sculpture appropriately titled, “Life.”
Artist miChelle M. Vara, who runs an art studio in Wilton, has created a ten foot tall sculpture out of I- beams. It will be unveiled Thursday at 2 pm near the corner of Ridge and Maple streets in City Park Glens Falls. Vara says the rusted metal sculpture took her a total of four months to create, although she said she spent a lot of time bending it and re-bending it until she got “a good flow.” It wasn’t saying what she wanted it to say.” She said of all the modifications.
Artist Likes Placement of Piece
Vara said the piece is intended to “reveal the ins and outs of the life that we live.”
She said she selected Glens Falls as the location for the sculpture because she sees the city as the hub of the North Country and a place open to the growth of the arts and culture. She said she’d like the placement of this piece of art in City Park to lead to a more interactive cultural base in Glens Falls.
