The Venue Fine Art & Gifts is pleased to host a reception for Paul Kane and the latest exhibition of his paintings entitled PAINTINGISDEADLONGLIVEPAINTING on Friday, December 15th, beginning at 6:00 p.m..

A graduate of the art programs of both Yale and Indiana University, Paul Kane has used his talents and distinct style to create a narrative that speaks to individualism, community, and mythical constructs that can come from both.

The name of Kane’s show, PAINTINGISDEADLONGLIVEPAINTING, is meant as a claim that painting is more meaningful today than ever. As Paul explains, the death of painting has been proclaimed by each new generation for a hundred years or more, due to the rise of new technologies and new cultural ways. How can painting be taken seriously when there is video art, installation art, conceptual art, computer generated art, etc.?

This collection of paintings is so fortified, Curator Gabe Colman was made to exclaim “…the visually hungry will be fed with this show!”

This exhibition continues through the month of December. The Venue’s fine selection of holiday art and gifts will also be on display and available for purchase.

At a time of giving, we may wonder, ‘what is the best gift I can give to others?’ The answer is inner peace. Whoever has inner peace is happy all the time, regardless of external conditions. No material gift can give this. Join us for this inspiring lecture to learn how you can develop the power to give others peace and happiness by meditating on love. Everyone is welcome regardless of background or belief.

To deepen your experience of meditating on love, please join us for the Developing A Kind Heart Retreat on Saturday, December 16, 10am-1pm.
