Cris Worley Fine Arts will present "Distortions," their third solo exhibition of paintings and works by Shannon Cannings.
Cannings’ work has mainly depicted her own meditation on toy guns. Emerging out of a childhood type of innocence, Cannings' preoccupation with the subject resulted from her own inability to play with them.
As Cannings stepped into her own role as a mother, she was excited to purchase them and allow for her own children to play with them. To Cannings, the toy guns were a consumable type of fun. Their color and translucency beckoned the eye of the artist, as their look resembled types of candy, something people easily consume with their eyes.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through April 12.
