The First Friday held on November 2nd featured galleries on Broad Street and Main street, but were not as busy as some months. Art exhibited in most of the Broad Street galleries was abstract or non-objective. Although not obvious from the outside, an open studio by what looked like an abandoned building proved to be one of the more interesting exhibitions. Shown above, featured artist Todd Shale uses collage and Photoshop to overlay images on top of historical portraits. He also uses paint to create mesmerizing designs on large canvases covered with resin. An added bonus for the viewers in the open studio, Shale’s workspace was revealed to have a running disco light. The Quirk Gallery/ Hotel featuring Sean Donlon (shown above) also displayed abstract works in metal form. Galleries such as the ICA with Hedges Edges Dirt and 1708 Gallery featured works with political commentary. Galleries such as Gallery 5 have a mini market on the second floor of local artists and band Deau Eyes played for the First Friday opening. As with all First Fridays, the exhibitions opened are some that can and should be seen again and again during the month they are on display.
