The Art Base Annex in Basalt kicks off a new exhibition at 5 called Conflux, showcasing artists Stanley Bell, Andy Storey and Jeff Stevens. Conflux juxtaposes urban and rural landscapes in a blend that’s a little rebellious, as the work combines painting, wheat pasting, photography, spray paint, stencils, screen prints, and other media.
Meanwhile, the Charles J. Wyly Gallery at the Art Base presents printer and graphic designer Rick Griffith in a new exhibition that employs collage cut outs from magazines and graphic interventions in the style of Constructivism. The composition speaks to the rise of the African American middle-class. The diagrams and images form the basis of a conversation about privilege, class, and equality with humor and parody. The event is from 5 to 7.
