Art I'm Looking At: Suzanne Jacquot on the Art Wall at Shige Sushi--Opening Reception (April 6, 2015)

We had a successful opening last night at Shige Sushi. One of the guests, a musician, brought along flutes and gave us some unexpected live music. Most of the attendees were themselves artists, which resulted in some lively discussion about the work. Jacquot's abstract paintings are notable for their command of composition and expressive use of color. I especially like the way her work combines gestural detail with diffuse color fields that work on a larger scale. The combination creates a dynamic between close examination of the finer elements and a simultaneous assessment of the surrounding visual field.

The show runs through May 31 on The Art Wall at Shige Sushi. For more information about art at Shige Sushi, including information about upcoming shows, about purchasing art, or about submitting art for consideration for display on The Art Wall, visit http://ctalcroft.wix.com/artwallatshige/.
