Accomplished career artist, Gale S. McKee, is pleased to present her latest exhibition The Sky is Falling, on display at the Fulton Crossing Art Gallery from Friday, August 30 through Sunday, December 1. The series comprises 11 multi-media paintings inspired by the powerful volcanic eruptions in Iceland in 2010, 2023, and 2024. An Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, September 14 from 1-4pm at 1200 River Road, Fulton, CA. Reception is free.
"After each eruption I became fascinated with their power and enormous local and far-reaching impact on Earth," explains McKee. "Despite the danger's volcanoes pose, I am drawn to the magnificent visual beauty that emanates from such an explosive event. The colors, the textures, the historical and geographical impact of the Earth and humans continues to fascinate me."
The mixed-media pieces (acrylic, glass, aluminum) - incorporating 3-dimensional chunks of pale green "glass slag" (representing volcanic glass shards) embedded into a support of canvas stretched over a hollow substrate that allows light to pass through the back, and aluminum strips and metal additions (representing metals erupted from a volcano).
