Opening Reception at Water Street Studios

Andrew Reach is an abstract artist working in the world of digital media. “I was an architect first for over 20 years, when in 2005, a progressive spine disease left me disabled and unable to continue practicing. I bring to my art, my architectural “baggage”. It informs me; always thinking about structure, composition, color and rhythm,” says Reach in his artist statement.

Diane Sanborn is a contemporary American abstract artist. She is the Founder and Director of BRIO Fine Arts. Sanborn is a highly skilled colorist working with symbols, shapes, and lines to keep audiences amused and on their toes.

Nicholas Sistler is featured in the “H20” gallery located on the first floor with his exhibit “Effervescent”. Sistler graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1980 and continues to impress audiences all over the nation with his miniature work that plays games with perception.

Portraits and Punchers features new painted works, a short retrospective of earlier paintings and some surprises. The show promises to be an exhilarating evening of colorful and exciting bare-knuckle art.
