Do It Today: Terres De Brume, 5132: Tempus Projects and Hollywood Science camps at MOSI
Posted by Franki Weddington on Mon, Dec 28, 2009 at 12:00 AM
As tempting as it is to place labels like ‘minimalist’ or ‘landscape’ on Vicky Colombet’s work, such qualifiers don’t do justice to the profound mysteries the French artist creates with a stroke of the pen or brush, on display for just a few more weeks in Terres de Brume / A New Geography. Perpetually exploring the limits of what will read as landscape, Colombet’s unique style of abstraction transcends its link to the natural world, offering ethereal geographies of rumination and respiration instead. Tampa Heights printmaking atelier Bleu Acier offers an exhibition of recent drawings and small paintings by Colombet, who is currently working with the studio to produce a series of etchings. (Pictured: "Tres Riches Heures," oil, alkyd and wax, by Vicki Colombet) On display through Jan. 16; Visit bleuacier.com for more info or to set a viewing appointment. Bleu Acier, Tampa.
That anyone is even having sugarplum dreams of opening a new gallery in Florida’s economic climate is a testament to Tampa Bay’s devotion to the arts. So bah humbug on ye naysayers, because today you can get a preview of the soon-to-be-a-reality 5132: Tempus Projects in Seminole Heights, which is “dedicated to bringing a variety of artists to the neighborhood serving as a conduit in the art community,” and houses recent works by local artists Lisa Harasiuk, Brian Taylor, Ben Pace, Justin Nelson, Kym O'Donnell, Will Stryffeler and more. On display through Dec. 28, 5132 N. Florida Ave., Tampa, free, visit tempus-projects.com for a gallery appointment. – Franki Weddington
