AMBER HOWARD, EXHIBIT COORDINATOR WITH WARHOL ART
Side by Side Warhol Exhibit PHOTOGRAPHY AND STORY BY CRYSTAL DAWN CARTER
Local artists had the chance to show some of their pieces and how they relate to some of the same scenes, as those from famed painter Andy Warhol. The exhibit was held at Tipton Street Gallery on December 1, 2017 as part of the First Friday festivities. Side By Side: Warhol and the Body was sponsored by ETSU Department of Art and Design and Slocumb Galleries. Amber Howard curated the exhibit and said the pieces were a showcasing that used the body as inspiration. All artists works used the same artistic mediums familiar with Pop Artist Andy Warhol and has the same thematic styles. Local artists were intertwined with photos, painting, sculpture, and video from Warhol that Slocumb Galleries has in their collections. Works like Chair by Brooke Day and several paintings by Andrew Norris were aimed at creating dialogue around issues and concerns of the human body in all its forms, and how it should be approached and celebrated.
