Venue exhibit opens Friday

With a reception at 6 p.m. Friday, the Venue Fine Art & Gifts is opening a new exhibit this week featuring artists Larry Wright and Linda ?Meyer-Wright.

After Wright retired from the Air Force and Meyer-Wright retired from social service, the two joined the Bloomington art community in 2000, according to a press release from the Venue.

The two work on many art projects together. Wright creates objects from wood and Meyer-Wright decorates and paints Wright’s carved objects to create colorful works of art.

Meyer-Wright also works individually, working with encaustics and alcohol ink paintings. Through her art, she explores the Japanese world-view of Wabi Sabi.

The concept comes from a Buddhist teaching that is centered on acceptance of ?imperfection.

In Meyer-Wright’s encaustic work, she uses hot wax and applies it in many layers to her pieces. Each layer can be sculpted and carved, and the wax can be colored, clear or opaque. Meyer-Wright is also scheduled to demonstrate her techniques at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Venue.

Meyer-Wright and Wright’s exhibit will run until Oct. 2.
