Light hors d’oeuvres and libations will be served with background sounds of DreamerJazz, and guests will have the opportunity to meet the artist. Brian Wilson (Atlanta) is an abstract/energy artist who mainly works with acrylic paints/inks (on canvas) and includes charged crystal/gemstone powders for the protective and healing properties they offer. His paintings rarely reference recognizable form. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted, and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. By applying abstraction, he invites his audience to consider his vision of eclectic, eccentric, forward thinking and apply it to themselves on a spiritual level. Brian currently lives and works in Gainesville.
