The Eclectic Art of Janet Kozachek: A Retrospective at the Hampton Art Center

 

The exhibition at the Hampton Gallery looked wonderful when I visited yesterday in order to replace a painting.  I truly appreciated all the hard work and ingenuity that the curator, John Wright put into designing the layout of this installation.  He suspended my eighteen 14 ft painted rally snakes from the ceiling so that they floated above the art work below.  I would never have thought of such a creative use of space!   John found a menagerie of chairs, couches, (including hair salon chairs!), that matched the colors and textures in the art work perfectly.  It was amazing!  

The Hampton Fine Arts Center, at 103 Lee Avenue in Hampton, SC,  is open by appointment, mask and social distance etiquette required.  For an appointment call: 803 842-9842.  

It was nice to finally be able to see the show in person.  I am hoping to go back for the Ekphrastic Reading by Mind Gravy Poetry on January 1.
