Inside the UW-Waukesha Fine Arts Center, is a collection of art work entitled "Sign: Breathing out life stories," by Michalene (Molly) Groshek. It includes a series of mixed media artwork that is a collection of recent and retrospective art. The exhibition opened on Oct. 12 and runs to Nov. 12.
Groshek has a degree in MA- Fibers from UW - Milwaukee and a MFA-Textile Designs from University of Kansas. She also has 20 years of experience in teaching art to colleges and universities.
The Fine Arts Center's gallery has the pleasure of holding 26 of Grosheks pieces, all of them unique and very down to earth. Many of her art pieces include material that have been dyed and that include stitching with detail that enhances the art pieces. Many of the wall art include mixed media with strings, paint and memorizing designs that are very enjoyable to gaze at. Also, in a couple of Grosheks pieces there was material that had been sewed on top of each other, which caused a layered effect on the art. On top of that, there are many lines and colors to add to the full picture. This type of mixed media flows very nicely together and creates a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. Many of the pieces included earth tones, many blues, and greens.
Groshek stated in her artist statement that, "These works give witness to the spiritual narratives that in twine, surface and resurface in my life." To Groshek art seems as a retreat, and to create the beauty of mixed media in her everyday life. Art is colors, line, shapes, textures, and it can be a way to relax, chill, and be a source of balance for some people who view it spiritually.
One piece of art that was very interesting was the shield and stand piece. It was a very colorful orange that had circles and lines, which really draw in the attention of the viewer. Along with a very colorful and beautiful piece entitled, "Spontaneous Composition #2," a white background with many varieties of color and line thickness swirled and spun around on the surface. All of Groshek's work is very beautiful, and according to WaukeshaNow.com, "Collectively, the works give witness to the accidental and spiritual narratives that intertwine and surface in her life."
On Nov. 23 the Fine Arts Center Art Gallery will be featuring recent work from Susan Messer, UW - Whitewater art faculty member, and students until Dec. 22.
