Body of Thought - Mat Dubé
Opens Thursday, March 27th through April 27th | Railbender Studio, 3 Hamilton Avenue North
Come see the new solo exhibit! The show will include 20 paintings, all of which were created using a new technique that Dubé developed
this past summer while participating in an artist residency in Paonia Colorado. This unique process allows him to merge sculpture, drawing and painting
together in a two-dimensional space. The opening event will also be part of the Guerilla Magazine 10 year anniversary (Guerilla Crawl) and will feature
a live didgeridoo and djembe performance by Mat Dubé and Dr. Lee! For more info visit here.
