The next show at the Deines Cultural Center in Russell opens November 13 - recent works by Ernest Vincent Wood III.
Ernest Vincent Wood III began his journey as a painter when an instructor recognized his affinity for light and encouraged him to pursue oil painting. After earning his BFA from Wichita State University in 2006, he studied at The International School for Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture in Umbria, Italy, under the sponsorship of the Kansas Cultural Trust.
Wood’s sensitive use of light and realism in his paintings brings to 2020 the seventeenth-century technique of the Roman Caravaggisti and still life artists of the Dutch Baroque, but with a contemporary twist of clever innuendos that make an Old World technique remarkably relevant.
Wood's paintings will be on exhibition at the Deines until January 8.
Come see his exceptional work Tuesday through Friday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 1 p.m. to 5p.m.
The Deines is located at 820 N. Main Street in Russell. Call 785-483-3742 for further information.
