HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Art Center will be featuring artists from the Society of Layerists in Multi-Media in an exhibit that opens this week.
"They kind of like to operate outside the lines," said Hutchinson Art Center Director John Eberly. "If you recall, back in grade school, maybe, or maybe at home even, unfortunately, some adult said, hey, you need to stay inside those lines. What are you doing? This bunch said, well, we're not going to."
This group started in 1982 as a group that would look at art from a holistic perspective.
"What's beautiful about this group is that they can recognize and honor each other's path toward how they create," Eberly said. "They create in all kinds of media. There's ceramics, there's watercolor, oil paint, acrylic paint. Their title, layerists, is a little bit misleading. There is collage, where you layer surfaces on top of surfaces, but I think their idea of layers is where you kind of mix up different things like philosophy and not just tangible artwork."
The opening reception is Friday, Oct. 20 from 5 p.m to 7 p.m. at the Hutchinson Art Center at 5th and Washington.
