SUMMARY:ArtBreak: West Michigan Area Show Artist Highlight
DESCRIPTION:During this ArtBreak\, meet local artists Richard Aardsma and Olivia Stier\, whose works are featured in the 2024 West Michigan Area Show! \nRichard Aardsma finds inspiration for his photomontages in the evolution of the photographic still life in modern and postmodern art. Thought-provoking compositions such as Still Life with Camera convey narrative meaning through the juxtaposition of elements. Aardsma seeks to create images that combine traditional aesthetics and conceptual art. \nOlivia Stier is a multimedia artist whose work explores grief\, memory\, and the spaces where the two intersect. Her work in portraiture offers an intimate look into the feelings of isolation\, loneliness\, and detachment that come from grieving. Stier’s print An Offering was selected for this year’s Southwest Michigan Printmakers’ Excellence in Printmaking Award.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
DESCRIPTION:by Olivia Laing \nWhen author Olivia Laing moves to New York City in her mid-thirties for a relationship that ultimately ended\, she finds herself profoundly alone. Seeking comfort in art\, Laing ruminates on the intersection of solitude and art\, examining the lives and works of several artists who grappled with isolation and used it as a source of creativity. \nWhile this is an insightful analysis of art\, it ultimately becomes a mediation on how loneliness can foster creativity and lead to personal and artistic growth.
