Description:
The Blacksburg Regional Art Association presents an Opening Art Reception for the new Danie Janov Exhibition on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at the Montgomery Museum & Lewis Miller Art Center.

Artist Danie Janov presents her new gallery exhibit titled "Vestiges: An Explanation of a Changing World".

With degrees in art and art education. Dr. Danie Janov spent her career teaching art at the college level.

Four years in the making. Janov's exhibit is what she terms part of a progression. She explains. “About ten years ago I went from a highly productive phase of my life to producing no art at all as the result of a tragic personal loss." After relocating to the New River Valley from her home in North Carolina to be near family, a gift from an artist friend rekindled her artistic drive.

Viewers of “Vestiges” will see many large works containing figures. familiar objects and symbols. several of which recur from painting to painting. Janov's abstractions rely heavily on color to convey her message. One painting can evoke a profound sense of sadness while another, containing many of the same elements, will convey a feeling of hope simply by her careful manipulation of color. Janov works primarily in mixed watermedia and collage. One part of the exhibit is a series of small paintings focusing on tools of the trade that are becoming obsolete.

The exhibit will be on display September through October 2017.

Admission is free and all are welcome.
