 Harbor Springs, MI - Knox Galleries announces a summer exhibition featuring the contemporary art of Petoskey resident, David K. Austin, including paintings, mixed media and sculptures, inspired by the natural beauty of Lake Michigan. Two artist receptions will be held at the gallery from 6:00-9:00 pm on Thursday, August 11th and Friday, August 19th; they are free and open to the public. The exhibition continues through August 31st. For further information please contact the gallery, 231-526-5377.David Austin earned a BFA from Northern Michigan University. His art is in public and private collections including the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library Art Collection, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Austin states: “This body of work reflects my time of summers on the lake, and how it inspires me. I am privileged to live and work so near the water now, and wish to share my joy and creative vision with my audience. I am fascinated with the epiphanies I have experienced during my time here….this location and the people have really fueled my passion for painting and travel. I have just begun to paint the stories.”
Deane Knox, gallery owner, has acquired David’s works for his own personal collection and states: “I believe David’s compositions show a depth of originality through his use of form and color, many of which reflect the atmosphere and beauty of the sweet water surrounding our northern Michigan resorts. Please join us in the celebration of his work.” Knox, who has owned and operated galleries in the U.S. since 1982, is introducing his Michigan gallery to abstraction for the first time with Austin’s show. Knox is donating a percentage of painting sales profits to Street Musique, the summer music street festival program sponsored by the Harbor Springs Area Chamber of Commerce.
