Venvi Art Gallery is delighted to showcase "Hidden Layers, Visible Boundaries", a group exhibition of works by artists Anne Stagg and Cheryl Eggleston. This exhibition will showcase each of their unique perspectives through the repetition of patterns and lines in their abstract works. "Hidden Layers, Visible Boundaries" will be on display from September 6th to October 13th, with its opening reception on September 6th from 5-8pm.

"Hidden Layers, Visible Boundaries" showcases over 30 of Anne Stagg and Cheryl Eggleston's abstract pieces. The "hidden layers" aspect of this exhibition represents how Stagg incorporates pattern and color in layers in her works. The layers in Stagg's pieces represent how ideas interact, transform and reveal underlying structures in the complexities found in human interactions, societal systems and ideas over time. The "visible boundaries" aspect is found in the visual boundaries represented through patterns, hard edges and strong lines found in many of Eggleston's works.

Anne Stagg is a Tallahassee- based artist and educator. She currently is an Assistant professor at Florida State University (FSU), where she serves as the co-director for the Foundations Program in their Department of Art. Cheryl Eggleston is an artist based in South Florida. Both Stagg and Eggleston have exhibited their works internationally. Eggleston also received several local awards for her works, even winning second place in the GAA 61st Annual Juried Show hosted by the Gadsden Museum of Art in Gadsden, Alabama. Stagg has received fellowship sand grants for her work as well.

In Stagg's works, she investigates the complexities of human interactions, societal systems and how ideas evolve over time. Her incorporation of patterns and colors in her pieces showcase the process of how layers of ideas transform, interact and reveal underlying structures. While in Eggleston's works, there are no rules. Her works are a representation of herself and serve as an outlet for her thoughts. According to Eggleston, "whether a piece of art is considered good or bad, art is the product of imperfect human creation. This is who I am, and these are my creations."

"Hidden Layers, Visible Boundaries" will be open from September 6th to October 13th, with its opening reception on September 6th from 5-8pm. Venvi Art Gallery is located at 2901 East Park Avenue Tallahassee, FL 32301. For more information about the exhibition, please visit www.venviartgallery.com.
