The Bedford Gallery is in the Dean Lesher Center for the Performing Arts and every year the Second-Graders go on a field trip to see an art exhibit. This year the exhibit was "WAX". It was amazing to see what artists can do with wax.
I love the piece about the American Dream. I don't know if you can see it, but there is a $5 bill coming out of the faucet. The creepy heads are the artists rendition of her children (all made of wax) in different poses; yawning, sleeping, screaming...it was kind of eerie. The thing by my yawning Ryan that looks like a blooming onion is actually a pile of wax fingers. It was a little disturbing.
I love the colors in these two encaustic works. Aren't they are gorgeous?
Sadly, I don't think Ryan quite enjoyed the field trip as much as I did. He looks a little bored, doesn't he? Especially in the yawning and twirling pictures. Notice the other kids looking genuinely interested...now, if they were wax LEGOS, he'd be very engaged! Anyway, I highly recommend going to this exhibit at the Bedford Gallery, if only for a change of pace and to get your kids out of the house over the summer.
