MARIETTA, GA (PNAN) – Upcoming new exhibition, “Wayfinding – The synthesis of poetic and visual language” opens on Saturday, January 7, 2023 at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art. The show features artwork by Bronislaw Bak, Alexander Berdysheff, Gary Chapman, Larkin Ford, Vladimir Kush, and Carlos Solis.
In this exhibition, viewers the opportunity to examine how and why artists have continued, even to this day, to create representations of distorted realities that can be seen as bizarrely whimsical, but also eerily bleak.
Surrealism was a cultural movement in the early 20th century known for mixing fantasy and dreams with reality. Surrealist art and literature over the past century have explored distant, obscured, or tainted realities, endeavoring to reach into and uncover the unconscious parts of the mind through creative expression. MCMA explores the use of surreal imagery and processes with a selection of paintings.
Note: An Artist Talk is scheduled for Sunday, February 26, 2023 with Michael Heffernan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2QBZSWb1j8 and This film is a studio visit and introduction to a body of ongoing works started during the pandemic. “Wayfinding” through visual and poetic language, is also the title of my upcoming solo exhibition at Marietta Cobb Museum of Art, Marietta Georgia.

The works in painting and poetry explore themes in nature, imagination, interiority, and the extraordinary events of the last three years and their impact on life and heightened appreciation of the natural world and interior-self-landscape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJJyxjCF3wg
