Las Cruces Museum of Art Presents Unidentified Flowering Objects

The new exhibition “Unidentified Flowering Objects,” collaborative drawings by Chuck Dunbar and Edna Casman, opens Friday, February 6 at the Las Cruces Museum of Art, with a reception as part of the First Friday Ramble from 5-7 pm. The exhibit will be on display through Saturday, April 4.

Chuck Dunbar and Edna Casman have been drawing together for three years, creating spontaneous pastel drawings. Their process is a series of moves and counter moves, like playing a game, to create an improvised floral image. According to their joint artist statement, “these drawings are not abstract. The subject of these drawings is the marks and rhythm and the spatial illusion they create.” Both artists currently reside in Albuquerque.

All exhibits and receptions at the Museum of Art, located at 491 N. Main St. in the downtown mall, are accessible and free to the public. For more information about exhibits and Studio Programs art classes, please call 575-541-2137 or visit the website http://museums.las-cruces.org
