OZ Arts Nashville Presents: PROSCENIUM

pro·sce·ni·um: the part of a theatre stage in front of the curtain

PROSCENIUM features works by Emily Weiner & Thomas Wharton and is curated by Ashley Layendecker from June 16 - September 6.

Peering through red velvet curtains, Emily Weiner’s paintings are stages for the imagination, transformation, narrative and drama. Thomas Wharton’s images of luminaires convey a time of day, mood, and transition. These artists use the architecture of the theatre to transport an audience from the flatness of the picture plane into the depths of light and space. This exhibition explores how paintings can walk the line between physical structures and optical illusions. Both artists use the proscenium as a literal framework, a symbolic structure, and a device to extend the two-dimensional picture plane into a three-dimensional space.
