"I Dream In Delft" Opening Reception

Join us on Friday, December 7 for the opening reception of I Dream in Delft, an exhibition by Heidi Van Wieren in the Douglas and Linda Paul Gallery on the second floor of the Englert. The striking paintings in this exhibit are made by pouring and manipulating many layers of Elmer’s glue and enamel on wood panel, which creates a rich textured surface that presents the viewer with many layers of meaning.

Inspired by the decorative patterns and colors of textiles, Delftware, and Delft tiles prevalent in her Dutch immigrant hometown in Michigan, artist Heidi Van Wieren infuses traditional ideas with modern aesthetics. As she writes, "These memories and ideas are the framework for my newest work: to make visual connection between process, decorative, cultural, aesthetic, and the personal."

I Dream In Delft will be on display November 8-January 8 in the Douglas and Linda Paul Gallery on the second floor of the Englert. The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 6 PM, and during select performances.
