The compulsion to create is something with which many
artists struggle. Whether a possessed urge for prolificacy on one hand
or writer’s block on the other, the genuine need to make art can often
surpass such pragmatic concerns as time, funding or even pride. Former
member of the now-defunct Publico Gallery and local artist Britni
Bicknaver will show her first body of work in six years created for
gallery exhibition.
Bicknaver’s discrete sculptural monuments to
romanticized Anglophile narratives will be on view alongside Cincinnati
artist Matthew Waldeck’s suite of whimsical visual vignettes and
Louisville, Ky.-based Paul McGurl’s text-based tributes to American
presidential history as part of Thunder-Sky’s Glory Be! (A Historical Romance).
The exhibition opens Friday with an opening reception 6-10 p.m.
Friday-Sunday. Thunder-Sky Inc., 4573 Hamilton Ave.,
Northside. raymondthundersky.org.
