Open Ending – Group Show
Maria Pia Marrella
This will be the last exhibition held at Buster Levi as the gallery will close after this show. Buster Levi has been an artist-run fine art gallery that specialized in Modern and Contemporary art. It was previously known as the Marina Gallery which opened in 2010. In 2014 the gallery moved to its present location and changed its name to Buster Levi.
Exhibiting in the last show will be current members, a few former colleagues as well as other artists who have exhibited at the gallery. As with all group shows at Buster Levi, the purpose of this exhibition is to showcase the variety of art, processes and expression that are characteristic of the work shown at Buster Levi. The artists engage in a broad range of styles that include abstraction, realism, conceptual art, and personal expressionism. The diversity extends as well to the mediums used by the artists, such as ceramics, drawing, mixed media, painting, photography, steel sculpture and various textile or membrane media. The artists that exhibit in the gallery follow their own interests and not a common aesthetic mode resulting in a rich and multifarious array of art.
Although Buster Levi is closing its physical space, their website will remain active, and members hope there will be opportunities for pop-up exhibitions. The gallery will be open on Saturday and Sunday from noon to five pm. For the duration of the exhibition.
