Can You Dig It? | Marie Cameron Studio

Last night’s reception for Gorgon Smedt‘s Can You Dig It? exhibition at JCO’s Place was a blast (and packed)! Smedt’s overscale work is playful and innocent with a haunting darkside – such an interesting contrast. The images themselves are colorful and arresting but for me the real story is how beautifully they are painted. It was fun to see some of the original items that inspired the work sprinkled about the exhibit – prison uniforms, a little girl’s bathing suit and sneakers. It was a nice bridge from the actual items that sparked the creative process to the larger-than-life finished pieces. The show runs through June 12. Go See!
