Local Berlin artist Eddie Hall is pleased to present Reframed an exhibition of nearly twenty art pieces created working with reclaimed windows. His work combines the rigid uniformity of hard-edge painting with themes of architectural abstraction and design. These works are all made on reclaimed windows and experimenting in glass painting techniques. The overall result is a body of work exhibiting bold colors that delves into the interplay between matte painted surfaces and glass. The Shape of Words: Poetry Workshop and Reading, Saturday, May 17 from 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM, at the Barney Library, 71 Main Street.
