The week-long display of Jim Barsness and Jesse Blalock’s exhibition, “Serendipity,” will conclude on Friday with a closing reception at which the artists will discuss their collaborative process. Barsness’ and Blalock’s works marry each other perfectly as both artists have an affinity for vivid colors and abstract patterns. Barsness describes his work as “Hieronymus Bosch meets Dr. Seuss, piled with crazed figures, fantastical landscapes and psychedelic dreams.” Blalock also creates groovy abstract patterns and specializes in a variety of media including murals, wood carving, pen and ink and body painting. He utilizes loose and sporadic strokes of saturated color in his artwork. All paintings at the event will be for sale to the public.
