Syncopation

Two local visual artists, Annabelle Seelye Fuhr from Lamar and Adele Thompson from Joplin have been creating their own personal vision in paint all their life, but now as a creative exercise they had decided to share a canvas and see what happens. While each artist has a distinct style, they have recently embarked on a journey of creating a collection of collaborative paintings in addition to their own personal work , which now is being unveiled to the public during Columbus Days October 5^th , with an artist reception.

The process of creating these freestyle paintings is unique in that each artist would lay down a foundation painting and then hand it off to the other to build on what was created. Each layer
changed the painting in such a way that it became entirely
different. They would continue this process of adding to the work of the other, until they agreed it was complete. In this way they created a collection of paintings with a freshness that communicates a variety of emotions. These pieces range from sheer musical energy in “Syncopation”, to peaceful contemplation in, “Twilight Falls”. Ten pieces comprise the collaborative collection including a satirical piece that emerged on the canvas , “ But, what about our spawn?”, communicates a love affair of two fish gone wrong. 

“Annabelle and Adele a Collaboration”, opens to the public with an artist reception and refreshments Friday Oct 5^th 5:30-7:30 at the Maple Uncommon Hotel – Columbus KS. Acoustic guitar by Alex Fuhr. More than 50 small and large original paintings and prints available for art lovers of any budget excited to start their own collection. Exhibition runs through October 31^st.
