Spare time
Shows offer traditional. abstract art
By STU LITCHFIELD Staff Writer
Life is painting a picture, not adding a sum.
Or, at least this is the philosophy of local artist Andrea Brockart, who adds paint to canvas to summarize much of what she sees in life.
"I can't add and I can't fix cars," Brookhard said. "So, I paint."
A show of Brookhart's paintings opened Friday at the Kellas Gallery, 7. E. 7th Street, and according to Mary Lisa Pike, gallery director, this show will be the gallery's main show until Sept. 30.
PROMINENT AMONG the works on display
Brooklyn landscape paintings, which she
labelled 'Arabic Painting'.
"When something is traditional," Brookpark said. "You can tell what it is. You know what the meaning of it."
Brookhart, a 1976 recipient of the Kansas Endowment Association-Lockwood Scholarship and an award winner at the 1977 Women Artists Conference, also won a scholarship. There was a good market for traditional paintings.
"Abstract art scares people," she said. "Often times, they would rather have something more tame."
According to Brookhart, it is important to understand and study traditional methods of drawing and painting. The basics are an immanent part of the art process; those are learned, there is room for deviation.
"If you know the rules you can break them," Brookhart said. "I have done some abstract work, but I've gone to more traditional things. I don't d Abstract very well."
BROOKHART SAID she likes landscape painting because of the immediate affect she received from doing such paintings.
"When you are painting something that is sitting in front of you, it's a little fresher and cooler."
According to Brookhart, however, her interest in painting has been shifting from land-based
"Your work will change. You do something long enough and it changes by itself," she said.
"There are crisis points when the work just doesn't come as easily. Then you have to stop and think about it. A friend of mine calls it 'staring a painting down.'"
ACCORDING TO Brookhart, her style reflects her personality. She said she considered herself to be a relaxed person and that a relaxed quality came out in her work.
"There is a certain looseness to my paintings,"
"Bernard said. The style is relaxed, and I like
like it."
Another show that opened Friday at the gallery was a collection of drawings by Jane Lackey, a Kansas City, Mo., artist and professor at the Kansas City Art Institute. Both artists agreed that their styles were very different from each other.
'Jane is more abstract,' Brookhart said. "I
am more representational, more relaxed. My work isn't as forceful at first impact."
ACCORDING TO LACKEY, who also works
with Diana, the dancers' injuries don't
affect the drawings as much as they expect.
Both artists said, however, that no matter what the style of painting, it was important to get
"Although the things I hear about or experience aren't my sole subject matter, they do affect my drawings," Lackey said. "I might have an idea of the gist of a drawing, but the basic format can change totally from start to finish."
"I don't care it they it they I saw," Lackey said. "I do want them to have an association, not walk out cold." Brookkart she worked consistently to develop an interesting marketplace.
"I want my paintings to have an impact," she said. "A single impact."
DESPITE THE ARTIST'S similarities or differences in style, Jody Kellas, the gallery's owner, said the artists had two separate styles.
Pike said the artists were not sharing a show, but rather there were two different shows.
Pike also said that Broarkhart's show was in the main gallery because she had worked with the gallery before, and her work had been well received. She is now a smaller room, juice she was new to the gallery.
"Which room an artist's show is in, is no reflection on quality." Pike said. "It's just a matter of time with the gallery. The important thing is that they are two separate shows."
'King's music' to reign in Hoch Thursdav
Peter Tosh, considered by some to be the
temperate reggae musician of this time, will be
inducted into the Hall of Fame.
By DIANE MAKOVSKY Staff Reporter
The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium. It is sponsored by Student Union Activities and Uptown Productions, Kansas City, Kan.
"Reggae is only what you hear and think is Tosh said in an interview in Melody Maker in 2016."
"Most people don't know what the word means," Tosh said.
"The word reggae means king's music, and the word rock is more sophisticated and should be highly appreciated."
Reggae originated in the Caribbean. The lyrics deal largely with social and political views. The music has a heavy beat and is strongly instrumental.
Tosh, a Jamaican, built a following in the United States after becoming, in 1978, the second artist ever to be recorded by Rolling Stones Records.
The king's music is of black kings. That is why for years people have denounced the recognition of reggae, Tosh said in the 1976 interview.
"But how long can they keep a good man down, because it is getting to the people; it is relating to the people and the voice of the people is the voice of the almighty," he said.
Réggae has its roots in the spiritual rebellious nature of the black music to the acrobatics as she wore
Rastafarianism is a religion in which believers consider marjana to be a sacred herb. Its use is advocated for spiritual awareness. Another sign of the Rastafarianism religion is that the followers wear their hair in dreadlocks, a type of braid.
Tosh mixes his Rastafarian beliefs with his music.
The Tosh concert will be opened by the Blue Riddim Band.
Tickets are $10 and $9 with a KU identification card, and may be purchased at the SUA box office, Kief's, Caper's, Tigers, Penn Lane and the Untown box office.
As of Thursday, the SUA office had sold about 800 tickets. There were no reports on sales in Kansas City which had half the available supply of tickets.
Andrea Brookhart discusses her painting "Arkansas I-55 North." An exhibit of her work is on display through Sept. 28 at the Kellas Gallery.
"It is one of the handful of major orchestras—those with a budget over $1 million—in the nation," said Leon Burke, acting conductor of the University Symphony Orchestra.
London Symphony Orchestra and the Concert Gebouw of Amsterdam, Burke said.
Minnesota Orchestra to open series
