Artist Reception: Journey of a Thousand Smiles…

Wednesday May 13^th at 7 pm at Blakely Hall
Opening Reception for Vikram Madan

Come celebrate spring with ‘Journey of a Thousand Smiles’ – a delightful exhibition of whimsical pop-surrealist paintings by local artist (and ArtEast member) Vikram Madan. The show will run from May 1^st through July 1^st and features oil and acrylic paintings that are sometimes humorous, sometimes quirky, sometimes light-hearted, sometimes metaphorical, sometimes thought-provoking, and sometimes all of these at the same time.  With bright colors and fun, engaging imagery, this family-friendly show will appeal to everyone who feels young-at-heart. He is also the author and illustrator of ‘The Bubble Collector’, an award-winning book of original humorous poetry that was nominated, by invitation, for the 2014 Washington State Book Awards and is frequently compared to the works of Shel Silverstein.
