 8th, 5PM – 8PM\nLIVE FLAMENCO MUSIC BY DAVID PÁEZ\nBAR + 
 SNACKS\n\nAlthough black and white thinking can often be limited to two 
 points of view, taking a closer look reveals that each one is actually made 
 up of infinite shades of grey. Inspired by such fluid notions of opposites, 
 Creative Growth Art Center invites you to discover works that revisit 
 binaries as defined by formal aesthetics like black/white, rough/smooth, 
 and graphic/painterly, as well as by the more topical political contrast 
 between Republicans and Democrats in light of the approaching Presidential 
 Election. Each juxtaposition, whether literal or political, challenges the 
 human tendency to alienate the different and unfamiliar based on defining 
 one extreme.\n\nGeorge Wilson presents a new series of stark ink drawings 
 based on Communist propaganda posters while Ron Veasey illustrates a 
 skeptical face in the presence of the Republican elephant symbol. Artists 
 Dan Miller and Barry Regan reference opposites from a color wheel 
 perspective—Dan using complimentary tones of orange and blue to compose 
 his signature fine-lined drawings and Barry reversing his usual circle 
 motif by drawing round outlines in white ink on black paper.\n\nNicole 
 Storm’s double-sided works further the duality of painting when both 
 sides are utilized to translate a vision, just as John Martin’s iconic 
 ceramic fists point to a historical movement that sought to empower rather 
 than isolate. Through polarities defined by the artists of Creative Growth, 
 the viewer must evaluate if they are opposites at all or simply parts of a 
 whole.\n\nDesigning the White\nOn the ramp, Designing the White presents 
 works made in a recent visiting artist workshop led by Min Gu on Chinese 
 painting and calligraphy techniques. Exploring the diversity of mark 
 making, Creative Growth artists have generated multiple iterations on Xuan 
 (rice) paper, playing with black/white, dry/wet, and concentrated/diluted 
 binaries.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/09/01/18790708.php
