Featured artists who will be part of the panel discussion on February 5 (quoted text from Five Points Gallery’s website)
”Bob Knox, a celebrated artist whose bold, colorful and energetic billboard sized paintings embrace both spontaneous, intuitive decisions and deliberate, detailed brushwork.
Patrick Kennedy's mixed media based work balances textural encaustics with fractured slabs of stone that create an alchemical marriage of disparate materials.
Emerging artist, Marc Mones, creates detailed dystopian graphite drawings that reference pop culture and the artist's own personal journey of recovery from addiction.
Moderated by Jessica Fallis, a Torrington, CT based artist, educator, and writer, Jessica's work explores themes related to the environment, time, and memory. Her work has been exhibited throughout Connecticut, including the New Britain Museum of American Art, Five Points Gallery, The Mystic Museum of Art, and the West Hartford Art League. She is currently a member of the Five Points Launchpad in Torrington, CT. Jessica is also a full time art teacher in West Hartford.”
