Spectacular Art Pieces from 30 Artists Now on Display in Reston [VIDEO]

If you love art, you'll be glad to hear a major exhibition is currently on display right here in Reston.

The Greater Reston Arts Center (GRACE) on Market Street is currently showcasing the Mary B. Howard Artist Member Exhibition, which opened June 30 and will run through Aug. 27, according to a statement.

The exhibition, which displays the work of 30 artists selected from more than 500 in the region by juror Stefanie Fedor of the Visual Arts Center of Richmond, was named in honor of Mary B. Howard, a longtime board member and supporter of GRACE who was an artist herself.

The artwork on display shows "a compelling blend of form and content through their exploration of a wide variety of themes and diverse use of media," the statement notes.

"Their works have transformed the GRACE gallery into an invigorating space filled with dynamic forms and expressive colors," the statement continues. "Moving through the gallery, subtle correlations can be found between the artists’ aesthetic philosophies and working methods. The viewer will find rewarding visual and deeper explorations in concepts such as spirituality, fragility, bereavement, and atonement."

From a beaded sculpture to enamel-on-vinyl paintings to acrylic compositions, there are plenty of things to please the eye at this exhibit.

"Jason Axtell's mixed media drawing, Stephanie George's monotype, and the paintings of George Kochev, Leslie Nolan, and Elaine Qiu all feature figurative images that seem to be on the fringe of existence, evoking distant thoughts of fleeting memories or dreams," the statement notes. "Other ephemeral works are devoid of the human figure and yet still hold a sense of presence. Catherine Day's ghostly digital print on fabric, Ceci Cole MacInturff's weighty installation, Heidi Fowlers's fragmented architectural paintings, Ben Morse's illustration of an enigmatic film, and the pensive photographs of sacred spaces by Golie Miamee and Gabriella Rando all share reference to the human condition."

The Greater Reston Arts Center is free to enter and open Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays 1-5 p.m., on Thursdays 1-7 p.m., and Saturdays 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.
