Connie Bostic collage exhibition October 23 – November 23

October 23, 2019 By Brenda Coates

COLLAGES BY CONNIE BOSTIC
October 16 – November 23, 4pm – 12 am Wednesday – Saturday
Connie Bostic opens her first art exhibition in Hendersonville with her collage series: “From Here and Back.” Bostic, a true art scholar, has a long and illustrious career in all aspects of art, including making art, writing about art, curating art, socio-political art actions, art related community service, and teaching art. Bostic’s collages were developed over several years between preparations for a steady flow of local and national art exhibitions. Born of Bostic’s subconscious, it is where she has found the freedom to playfully and sardonically juxtapose or overlay diverse imagery into puzzles. Sometimes she includes text that leaves the viewer to explore their subconscious when they interpret the imagery’s relationship to the text or vice versa – it becomes a personal encounter. One such collage embraces a toothless serf-like figure similar to those found in Van Gough’s “Potato Eaters,” plastered on a dark sinister background with a cucumber hanging in the upper right hand corner – a reference to the forbidden fruit found in Reuben’s “Garden of Eden.” Her images range from the mundane to the exotic and include whacky Looney Tune cartoon characters, formal 1930’s Bachrach bridal photographs, kitsch 1940’s McCall pattern models, stamps; in fact, anything is fair game for appropriation here. There will be a closing reception on November 23rd from 3:00 -5:00 p.m. conresume 2017
