VERO BEACH — Main Street Vero Beach is bringing a potter and photographer to the guest artist space for July.
Jim Cohoe a resident artist at Flametree Clay Gallery is excited to be showing at the Main Street Vero Beach guest artist space. His reception will be Friday July 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. during the First Friday Gallery Stroll. His show will be on exhibit until August 1.
Cohoe’s art background is in the family: his father was a water color artist, an aunt painted with oils and both were wood carvers and another aunt was a docent at the Detroit Museum of Art.
He spent several winters working with Aric Attis at the Vero Beach Museum of Art during his Creative Visions work shops.
He started working with clay again about seven or eight years ago to find some release from the intensity of the camera and Photoshop work.
Cohoe considers his photographic work as an artistic expression of who he is. A large part of his are is open to interpretation rather than representative. Photographs in the July exhibit will include recent images from the windows of the former location of the Avanzare Restaurant in Vero Beach as well as pictures from his Blurb book Two Old and Rusty Fords.
The pottery part of the exhibit will include new ceramic work shown for the first time.
The work on display will illustrate how the compositional elements found in artistic work overlap regardless of the medium involved.
Main Street Vero Beach is located at 2036 14th Ave in the historic downtown arts district. Call 772-643-6782 for more information or email info@mainstreetverobeach.org.
