LACONIA — The 2013 exhibit schedule at The Studio, 50 Canal Street in Laconia, opens with artist Elizabeth Obelenus' "Enchanted Encampment", a quiet evocative show about navigation, landscape, place and journey. Obelenus' use of found objects and paint, natural material and man-made cast offs creates an intimate exhibit that allows viewers room for interpretation and emotion.
There is a reception for the artist today from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Studio. "Enchanted Encampment" is on view through Saturday February 2 during regular business hours, Wednesday through Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., other times by chance or appointment.
For more information call 603-455-8008.
The Studio's owner, Melissa McCarthy, is taken with the exhibit's scale and scope. "After the holidays, many of us are ready to get a little quiet, go inward a little," says McCarthy. "Elizabeth's show not only allows that, but encourages it." Obelenus' traveling character, The Saintly Tourist, are the eyes through which we view this journey, a "deconstructed landscape" which creates the "Enchanted Encampment".
