Saw You On The Sidewalks of Russia
(видел тебя на тротуарах России!)
On Display August 18 – September 30, 2017, Community Gallery
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 26 from 3-5 P.M.
Doesn’t matter if it’s the guy who walks in the door while we wait at the dentist’s office, or the couple who walk by our table into the café, the twenty-ish aged girl in the really short skirt and 4 inch heels, or even the biker doing a wheelie on his BMX. It’s a worldwide occupation, this people watching gig.
Saw You On The Sidewalks Of Russia (видел тебя на тротуарах России!) is images, paintings, of people that we want to be different, because they live in a country on the other side of the world. Are they so very different? Not really – their hopes and dreams are a lot like ours.
We are pulled in to see. We are all human, and no matter which side of the earth we live on, no matter what the name of our country of residence, no matter which side of the border we’re confined to – we watch. With this exhibit I give you the opportunity to watch through my artist eyes – to people watch with me. Yes, it’s a grand adventure. – Karen Cooper
