The show title, “CURVEilinear” is all about what people see and feel when they walk through the doors of the three historic brick buildings in Asheville’s River Arts District: the flow of the horizon in an encaustic landscape, the vibrant colors in the fabric blocks of a larger-than-life quilt, the black-eyed pea glaze design on a teapot, patterns carved into the rims of bowls, a sinuous twist in a rebar candle holder. Functional clay and decorative ceramics, textiles and weaving, jewelry, metal works, furniture and paintings will be for sale in Gallery 86 plus a beautifully landscaped garden. Experiencing “CURVEilinear” in Gallery 86 will give you a taste of the CURVE Studios & Garden working studio experience where seven days a week visitors encounter artistic lines, shapes, colors and textures at 6, 9 and 12 Riverside Drive in Asheville. With a synergistic communication amongst the group nurtured by artist-owner Pattiy Torno’s desire to incubate a creative community, along with extensive collaboration by Constance Williams, the energy is palpable, and every day new works with interesting lines and edges and surfaces take shape.
