Northwest Louisiana Art Gallery and Prima Tazza present “Drops of Wisdom,” the visual art of Jake Dement. Jake creates colorful acrylic paintings on canvas, says curator Michael G Moore. “Drops of Wisdom” features new work created in late 2004 through the first 6 months of 2005.
Jake says of his work: "The evolution of my work has strengthened since I first started painting. I feel a very strong connection with what I am doing now because I feel these pieces are created from my sole. I have been fortunate that I am able to step outside of myself and let the spirit carry me through the completion of my paintings. It is hard for me to take credit for what I do. The feeling of being guided by a higher power is so strong that I often feel I have little to do with how my work is brought forward. Continuing to do my art is a gift from God, and in creating my work I feel I have a place in this world that God has chosen for me."
Jake's work can be viewed online at NorthLouisianaArtGallery.com.
“Drops of Wisdom” will run from Monday, August 1st through Friday, September 9th.
A reception for the artist will be thrown on Friday, August 5 from 5-7 PM at Prima Tazza, 8835 Line Avenue at 3132, and is open to the various and sundry. Call Carey Johnston at Prima Tazza, 318-550-0174, for more details.
