Style, Range and Beauty
COCA's New Three- Artist Show at City Hall Art Gallery Begins Jan. 13th
The Paintings of Randy and Debra Brienen and the Photographs of William Banks are remarkable in their scope and interpretation of regional subjects in the newest exhibition at Tallahassee’s City Hall Gallery.
The exhibition celebrates both the aesthetics and contrasting styles of the three featured artists. Randy Brienen works in acrylic and uses vibrant colors and bold textures to create his impressionistic and abstract paintings.
Debra Breinen also works in acrylic. Her paintings express an innate joy and happiness in living, and she has exhibited in many juried shows. Debra is a cancer survivor and donates a portion of each sale to the American Cancer Society.
The medium changes to photography for the third featured artist of the exhibition. William Banks’ subjects range from lotus blossoms to old rural highways. His genius comes from his passion for chronicling moments that resonate with people, as well as his ability to capture texture, color and the heart of each subject.
The three-artist show will continue on the second floor of City Hall through mid-March. City Hall Gallery is open from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm daily. Convenient parking is available at Kleman Plaza.
The exhibition is curated by the Council on Culture & Arts (COCA) and is part of the City of Tallahassee’s Art in Public Places program.
