The “Beyond Inking” art exhibit will be on display April 23 to May 18 in the Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery at the Moraine Valley Community College Fine and Performing Arts Center.
“Beyond Inking,” by mixed media fiber artist Gretchen Jankowski, is the next art exhibit to be displayed in the Robert F. DeCaprio Art Gallery in the Moraine Valley Community College Fine and Performing Arts Center (FPAC), 9000 W. College Parkway in Palos Hills. The show runs April 23 to May 18, featuring a reception with the artist on Thursday, April 24, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The display’s abstract woven botanical and sewn patters tempt viewers to touch and feel them. Jankowski creates large-scale pieces and soft sculptures, often in a series, many with iterations of the same patterns and print. She relishes discovering new techniques and creating the unexpected, including the mishaps.
