3 new artists featured in Art on the Walls exhibition downtown

 

New art on view and for sale at Eleven Stanwix: Featuring art by Natiq Jalil, Annie Weidman, and Kara Zuzu We’re switching things up at the Art on the Walls exhibition at Eleven Stanwix in downtown Pittsburgh! This month, we welcomed the artworks of local artists Natiq Jalil, Annie Weidman, and Kara Zuzu. Their works will be on display through January 2021. If you find yourself downtown, warm up in the Eleven Stanwix lobby with some local art on the walls. The lobby is open for you to visit, and all art is for sale. Masks required!  Read the Digital Exhibition Brochure The lobby at Eleven Stanwix in downtown Pittsburgh is the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council's newest Art on the Walls partner. This art space will feature four exhibitions in total, highlighting new local artists within each exhibition. This exhibition features the second round of artists. If you missed the first round, featuring Lori Hepner, Kathy Mazur, and Ronald Nigro, you can still view the August-October 2020 exhibition brochure here. Meet the Artists "Polarity" by Natiq Jalil Natiq Jalil Natiq Jalil is an emerging artist who specializes in watercolor. He is a self-taught artist and believes true art begins during those moments between being asleep and being awake. Natiq's work is prized by many private collectors and can be seen in many homes and businesses on the East Coast and throughout the Midwest in the US, and around the world. Natiq is currently creating new collections addressing relevant issues through Afrofuturism such as cultural appropriation, systemic racism, gender roles, and the beauty of people of color. "Spotted Lanterfly" by Annie Weidman  Annie Weidman My work challenges viewers to consider our world of disposable, man-made materials and their relationship to the natural and the timeless. I use precisely-cut pieces of discarded food boxes to create art that, at first glance, appears of traditional design and craftsmanship, but upon closer inspection exposes a surprising beauty and utility in the color and texture of what we throw away.  "Unorthodox Friendship" by Kara Zuzu Kara Zuzu Sculpting animals from clay connects me closely to the natural world while telling a humanistic and personal story. I am very intentional when choosing an animal to sculpt and allow my intuition to be my guide. I have always believed that all creatures possess culture, a shared animal and human quality, allowing for a natural vessel of storytelling, narration, and expression. My animals can reflect peace and centeredness or push the viewer to feel uncomfortable prompting them to think through multiple perspectives. Animals are a non-threatening way to engage my viewers in an experience of awakening and self-reflection. Art on the Walls is an exhibition program for Greater Pittsburgh visual artists, displaying quality art by regional artists in office spaces and encouraging patrons and corporations to purchase artwork for their collections. Learn more about the program, including how to get involved as an artist or business. The Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council seeks to expand the reach and impact of the region's diverse and vibrant arts and culture community by providing leadership, advocacy, capacity building, and connections. Donate today or become a member.
