Freedom. That is what art is, it’s the something inside of everyone given the chance will break the rules, stand out and boldly go when you would dare not. Owens Daniels’ new collection of works, “Something Bold: The Art That Broke the Mold”, has the ability to provoke, uplift, and transform. It is Daniels’ intention to ignite a sense of curiosity and wonder in those who encounter it.
Owens Daniels, “Uncle Remus”
Ultimately, Daniels’ artistic journey is about pushing boundaries, embracing vulnerability, and celebrating the limitless possibilities of creative expression. In a world that often demands conformity, this new work stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of courage and the profound impact of daring to be different.
Owens Daniels, “Body and Soul”
Owens Daniels’ photographic career started at the U.S Army Photographic School of Cartography, learning the basics of photography and photo printing. In addition to his formal training, he continues to work as a freelance photographer with a distinctive and intimate photojournalistic signature style in visual storytelling which has led to various opportunities that include Artist in Residences, Fellowship of American Art, Public Art Installations, and Grants and varied other commissions.
Seth Moskowitz calls his show, ‘Sounds of Spring,’ but you won’t hear any music, birdsong or any of the other sounds you might associate with spring. Unless you have synesthesia, a condition that causes some people to see shapes or colors when they hear music, or taste foods when they read or see shapes or patterns.
Seth Moskowitz, “Who Let the Dogs Out”
None of that happens to the artist. However, this spring Moskowitz noticed that the splendor of the world reawakening from winter filled him with the same type of emotions and sensations experienced when he was captured by music. This work represents an effort to recreate some of what he felt while wandering around Winston experiencing the season in bloom.
Seth Moskowitz, “Ta-da!”
Seth Moskowitz is a Winston-Salem based artist who creates and combines photographic images into artworks that rarely resemble photography or the images that they incorporate. He made a living for more than four decades immersed in a constant chatter of written and verbal communications. Seth began to create visual art in 2004 as a way to enter a peaceful, magical place that is literally, beyond words. He has been a member of the Artworks Gallery since 2017, and a member of Associated Artists of Winston-Salem since 2005. Since his retirement in 2019, he has devoted himself full-time to appreciating the beauty of the natural world, exploring and creating art, and helping to encourage, nurture and promote the growth of local artists and their artwork.
This exhibit is free and open to the public.
