A one night event to celebrate everything that is “Bubba”!!
Last year artist Laura Dumm did a painting from a photo of her 17 lb. orange and white cat named Bubba, which became the start of a year long exploration of artistic imagery ranging from the comical to the sublime. Inspired by that one photo of her cat muse Laura utilized a diversity of styles and mediums to paint 19 different portraits of the cherubic feline. In addition to her paintings of Bubba, she produced a movie, a sculpture, a mask, a box, a ready made, pencil drawings, ink drawings, a comic book (done with her husband Gary Dumm), a few pieces of jewelry and a construction. No stranger to the age of Social Media, Bubba even has his own facebook page. “LIKE” him at https://www.facebook.com/BubbaDumm
This show is an exuberant and colorful exploration of the artist’s craft. Each style variation in the finished art is evidence of the different challenges Laura met during the course of creating her show. “Ever since I was a young artist I’d been told to find a style and perfect it. I never understood that thinking. This past year has been so much fun painting how I felt at that particular moment, freely investigating my process of making art” Laura said.
Light refreshments and beverages will be served. One 3-D exhibit will raise money for local cat rescue organizations.
Please join us for a celebration of “Everything Bubba!!”
