VISUAL ARTS BILL MAYR Different mediums find common ground in subject By BILL MAYR A two-person exhibition at the Gallery 202 Co-op in Westerville reflects two approaches to art. In his acrylic paintings, John A. Daniels concerns himself with technique, especially color. Ginny Baughman, on the other hand, has created sculptural pieces that focus on content ‹ in this case, femininity. Together, their pieces form "He Said She Said: An Investigation of Human Form." Daniels' works are of women, chiefly nudes. Many of his paintings, including Amy, incorporate arresting colors ‹ fluorescent pinks, greens, yellows and reds. "The way I view my palette of colors is that itıs a playground and I want to play around," he said. "If with the colors I can make . . . (the painting) delicious, then thatıs what I want to do." Daniels also paints landscapes but said he prefers human subjects. "Iım more excited doing the structure of the human body than the structure of a tree." Many of Baughmanıs sculptural pieces reflect the female form, too, but not so literally. Bejeweled Lady, for instance, is a mannequin covered with costume jewelry, while Toy Princess is another mannequin covered with small Barbie-like plastic toys. The Goddess is a femaleıs figure constructed from shells, stones, beans and wood, with a coconut for a head. Several pieces are made by molding plaster bandages on the female mannequins, then affixing the plaster bandages to canvases and painting them. Baughman takes yet another approach with an accordionlike paper tunnel book that presents a three-dimensional view based on Edouard Manetıs Luncheon on the Grass, a controversial-at-the-time painting of a nude woman at a picnic with two dressed men. Making sculptural constructions is a new approach for Baughman, a Westerville painter. As for the content, "Iım really pulling in a lot of feminine issues; for me thatıs what Iım dealing with. I have a collection of old magazines. I love to look back. "Iım interested in that traditional image of a woman as housewife and mother. And now weıre moving away from that." The exhibit continues through Aug. 26 in the gallery on the second floor of 38 N. State St. in Westerville. Hours: noon to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, noon to 4 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Call 614-890-8202. Bill Mayr is a Dispatch arts reporter . bmayr@dispatch.com
