When artist Lynda Carroll began her Perception in Motion series she decided to draw geometrical figures in the way that people perceive them, from multiple angles. The Wilton resident said that once she drew the set from one side, she began looking at the canvas from different angles and drawing the same shapes from the different angle.
Most of the time we dont stand still when we see things, Carroll said describing her process. She is one of the artists featured in the Wilton Librarys Pow, Punch, reZoom! art exhibit, which features many psychedelic works of art similar to the style of Peter Max and other artists from the 1960s. Many of the artists expanded out of their comfort zones to match the style desired for the exhibit, she said.
Artists have a tendency to get stuck in a rut at times, said Carroll, a former president of the Loft Artist Association. The artists enjoyed using the bright colors as well as the challenge of trying to match the style of 1960s art. The exhibit will take people back to their childhood and make them happy, said Karen Siegel, a teacher at the Rowayton Art Center and the Silvermine Art Center.
We all grew up in the '60s, so we are totally into this, Siegel said of the artists that participated in the show.
Most of the pieces are available to purchase. A portion of the sales' proceeds will be given to the library. The exhibit will be at the library until April 2.
