Ray Burggraf & Mark Messersmith: Painters Do Sculpture Opening Reception

Venvi Art Gallery is delighted to present “Painters Do Sculpture”, a joint exhibition of works by Ray Burggraf and Mark Messersmith. The exhibition will be on display from June 6th to July 12th. In this exhibition, Burggraf and Messersmith put down their canvases to showcase their sculptural works.

The opening reception will be held on June 6th from 5-8pm.

“Painters Do Sculpture” showcases over a dozen works by Ray Burggraf and Mark Messersmith that share the color vibrancy and craft with their painting. But, over the years, due to smaller scale the 3-D work, until now, has received little attention. But both have always loved the carving, shaping, and emphasis on materials of sculpture.  So, this exhibition is a decision to bring that to the forefront for the first time.  Not to neglect their painting, Venvi has arranged for patrons to visit by appointment Ray’s Art Studio just down the road, which has the artist’s works that are so big that they emphasize how painting can go well beyond human scale.
