Looking Up - A Point of View - Fred Rawlinson's Atelier
February 1 - February 28

Vantage point is a position or stand-point from which something is viewed or considered...a point of view. Perspective is all about relativity; when you pull back and look at the larger picture and take a different view, maybe things aren’t so bad, or maybe there’s a solution where it seemed like there wasn’t before. In this exhibition, artists were challenged to cast aside the traditional “street scene” composition and change their point of view...to look up. Artists can use the principles of perspective to create their own perception of the world around them. They have the power of illusion, the ability to make the viewer see what they want them to see.
