I went to my friend Noah McWilliam's art show the other day at the blue elephant art center. (We used to share space together there, its a co-op type of center.) I really encourage you guys to check out this show. It is some of the best art I have seen come out of frederick. Especially go if you like texture. He explores a lot of textures with food, a chalk piece that is a portrait of a croissant, a wall length installation like, chalkboard piece that is just the glare off bags of grapes, and one of my favorite pieces, close up views of sunflower seeds, the value done in shades of brown made with lemon juice and a heat gun.
Chalk, jersey, and other less than fine art materials are used all throughout the show and used in a beautiful and thoughtful way. I particularly liked another piece that is a self portrait of prayer portrayed with contradiction in a very and personal way. So check out this work. Hopefully he'll tour it around a bit. It is definitely strong enough.

I really enjoyed this show as well. I wish that I had come to the opening to talk with Noah about some of the work. He has a powerful aesthetic.
