Local artist Don Haggerty has shared his paintings with EVOLVE for the winter months of December – March. Inspired by the spirit in form and Osvald Siren’s book, “The Chinese on the Art of Painting,” Haggerty’s dancers bring a serene, vivid expression of movement and poise into the space at EVOLVE.
Artist Statement:
If an artist is fortunate enough, and if that artist has been diligent in living life and going about the task of making their art, there comes a time in the artist’s life when form finally gives way to spirit. And it’s in this spirit that I’ve begun a new series of work titled, “Somewhere between Heaven and Earth.”
Primarily dance-inspired, this series taps into the endless inspirations to be found in intertwined groupings of active figures. Often silhouetted, or dimly lit, their shapes become other-worldly. The revelations are rich, and the outcomes are always surprising.
