First Friday Art Walk – May 3, 2013
Viewing Ron Flier’s meticulous conté drawings brings to life the blood, sweat, and tears of Topeka’s formative industrial years. Architecture and roadways, the foundation of our capital city, tell their stories through the stark contrasts created by Flier’s medium, conté crayon. The waxy charcoal substance demonstrates a great advantage over other mediums in producing high contrast black and white, an element the artist has pushed to its limit.
Topeka in Black & White opens at Soho on Friday, May 3rd in conjunction with the First Friday Art Walk; the artist will discuss the collection and answer questions at 7:00 p.m. Art Walk hours 5:30-8:30 p.m.
