Arthur Schaller, Albedo Variation #1, 2023, Collage from printed matter, 13”x9”
MONTPELIER – The T.W. Wood Gallery will present an exhibit of Arthur Schaller selected works beginning April 1. This exhibition consists of a compilation of collages, paintings, and mixed media work. An artist reception will be held April 4, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
A bricoleur at heart, Schaller has been exploring collage environments and painted assemblages for decades. These are made from printed surfaces and found materials, sometimes translated into three-dimensional constructs, furniture pieces or architectural speculations. Schaller recently returned to painting and mixed media works which parallel the collage experiments. The exhibition ends on May 24,
