Art Market Gallery: Featuring Kara Lockmiller and Matt Dozdall

Category: Exhibitions, visual art, Fine Crafts and Free event

Opening for the new exhibit will be First Friday, June 7, 5:30-9 PM

Kara Lockmiller
"I am a chromesthete which means I see a vast array of real colors in my mind when I listen to music. I like to think of it as my own personal light show. My goal for each portrait is to let you glimpse music and musicians the way I do. The show is too beautiful not to share. There is a kinship between color and music – both can say what words can not. My 10+ years as a journalist and graphic artist left me with a great understanding of design principles as they relate to color. I began painting for others in 2017 as an outlet to share all the mesmerizing colors I see as I listen to music. While I can remember the lyrics to almost any song I’ve ever heard, I am most fascinated by the people who pen them. I describe my style as painting in shadowed hues. My musician portraits are formed by breaking down each artist into pieces of colored shadows and highlights. They come together like puzzle pieces on canvas. My color palettes vary for each artist depending on what I see as I listen to their music. I’m also greatly influenced by the time in their careers I chose to depict them."

Matt Dozdall
"I’m 45, live in Corryton, Tn. Married, with 4 kids. I’m originally from NC, have lived in East TN for about 20 years. US Army Veteran. I’ve been a Mechanic most of my life, And Have Always Loved any kind of Art! I mostly weld car parts together to create my art pieces, but will sometimes incorporate metal from other objects such as Washing machines and Clothes dryers. I’m not afraid to venture outside of my box, with new forms of art. I can hardly wait to see what comes up next!"

Art Market Gallery, 422 S. Gay St, Knoxville, TN 37902. Hours: Tu-Th & Sa 11-6, Fri 11-9, Su 1-5. Information: 865-525-5265, www.artmarketgallery.net

Post Modern Spirits: Trees Re-Imagined by Pamela Salyer

  • June 7, 2019 — June 30, 2019

Category: Exhibitions, visual art and Free event

Recent works by local artist Pamela Salyer will be on display throughout the month of June at Post Modern Spirits in downtown Knoxville. An opening reception will be held on Friday, June 7th from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m., during Downtown Knoxville’s monthly First Friday Art Walk.

The show will feature a new series of mixed-media pieces, focused on trees and their settings. “The infinite variances in color, texture and pattern of trees fascinate me—how they relate to and echo the patterns of the earth, and even our own skin. I attempt to interpret and convey the relationship between these elements through my collages, with trees and their surroundings as the main subject. I build each collage with acrylic paint, gels, and paper, layer by layer, creating new ways to consider the textures and colors of the trees that surround us.”

Pamela is a Knoxville-based mixed media artist (email: pamelas2art@gmail.com). Her work is also available at The Art Market Gallery, 422 S. Gay St., Knoxville, TN, https://artmarketgallery.net/

Post Modern Spirits is located at 205 W. Jackson Ave., Ste. 205, Knoxville, TN 37902. Hours are Monday to Friday 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., Saturday 12 p.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. (865) 437-3190 https://postmodernspirits.com
