Forte: Music on Paper Art Exhibit | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Opening reception August 13, 7-9pm, Exhibition August 13 – September 30, 2015

In Forte, nine Creativity Explored artists transform sheet music into a beautiful new language of abstracted patterns and marks on paper. Symbols, notes, and chords intended to communicate sound are reimagined as 34 individual visual compositions in this group exhibition. Featured artists include Charles Cruz, Anthony Gomez, Kaocrew “Yah” Kakabutra, Taneya Lovelace, Edita Membreno, Jose Nunez, Selene Perez, Hung Kei Shiu, and Ana Marie Vidalon.

At the opening reception for Forte on August 13, 2015, solo musician Danny Paul Grody will perform a unique set of guitar-based music inspired by some of the artworks in the exhibition. Grody will explore sound through the elements of texture, abstraction, and mood found in the drawings. In addition, Grody will provide a selection of recorded music that can be listened to throughout the duration of the exhibition.

According to Curator and Creativity Explored Executive Director Amy Taub, Forte was inspired by an earlier series of music-related prints in which Vidalon interpreted sheet music. Taub explains, “I was fascinated by Vidalon’s response to musical notations and became intrigued by what might happen when other studio artists used sheet music as their source material. The resulting artworks are incredibly sophisticated and innovative.”
