It's a wonderful art world! ART GRABS MY HEARTt
KENY GALLERY in German Village is showing the incredible ELIJAH PIERCE. The Keny entrepeneurs have wisely obtained the showing-rights to Pierce's works and are presenting the late, great Elijah Pierce's Woodcarvings (and Historic Amish Quilts)
This exhibit will not be "beat", as Elijah might say, in the Central Ohio area, nor to my thinking, anywhere. The quilts, traditional and wild, dance before the eyes yet manage to be sedate. Yes, Adam, Eve, and the Serpent are there.
Pierce was a long lived minister of the gospel, and his art-- call it primitive, spiritual, or narrative--has a whimsical life of its own. The Kenys are to be congratulated.
The quilts are worth a trip from Cleveland or Detroit. --Technical problems are disturbing me at present so I must leave things at that.---Go, go go ! Visit Keny Gallery on Beck Street. Look it up. There's only one Keny Gallery, or I'll be a camel in Elijah's (imaginary) Noah's Ark.
