“Mug Shots” is all about faces and portraits. Portraits are the favorite subjects of most artists, often because they need only look in the mirror for a model. The portraits in this show are serious, whimsical, off-beat and abstract visions of humanity (and the world of beasts.) A few artists special in animal portraits. The audience for the show is invited to seek out their favorite artists and ask to have a portrait created of them, their families, their grandchildren or their pets.
As a special treat in the gallery, artist, Alyrical, will be on hand to paint or draw a “Mug Shot on the Spot.” For only $20 paid to an artist who usually charges hundreds of dollars for their works, visitors can walk away with a special work of art. For a more intricate work of art, Alyrical will photograph you and create a masterpiece. Ask any artist in the show to do this, as well, and you will be sure to be captured on canvas for posterity.
For several weeks a group of teen-age artists from the Lake Worth and as far away as the Acreage, area have been working on a large mosaic project. They took time to create a series of masks for this show. Some of them will be for sale, the proceeds going to a college scholarship fund for these young people.
Included in the show will be paintings, photographs, glass works, fountains, wooden and pottery masks.
The gallery will celebrate this exhibit with a wine and cheese reception. The wines provided are donated French wines from a local wine distributor.
