While nearly every work of art is handcrafted, the power of the artist’s hands is not always set at the forefront. Can you tell when the physical movements of hand and arm truly creates a piece of art’s meaning? During Hudson Gallery’s upcoming show, Out of Hand: on Canvas/in Clay, the hands of two Ohio artists will be showcased. Matt Wolcott, formerly of Toledo and currently based in Columbus, will debut all new oil canvas works. Wolcott’s large-scale works are physically abstracted, with the artist’s stretching arms creating the large brushstrokes. Also on view are new works by Toledo ceramic artist, Jan Thomas, who molds her material to create emotional, nostalgic images.
Opening during the Red Bird Arts District art walk on Friday, February 5 from 6-8pm
