PAST Events  DENNISON, FLOYD AND WEAVER EXHIBIT ART AT SUTTON’S TOWN SQUARE CAFE SUTTON WV: An art exhibition featuring three acclaimed West Virginia artists will be available for viewing July 17 to 25 at Town Square Café in downtown Sutton. A selection of works by potter Eric Dennison, painter Tiera Floyd and sculptor Cherese Weaver will be displayed. Admission is free. “We are excited to showcase the work of Eric and Tiera, who are emerging young artists, and Cherese, an accomplished sculptor. Each of the featured artists has a distinctive creative signature. We believe the public will be as excited as we are to experience their fine work,” said cafe owner Tamara Cicogna. The Opening Reception, where visitors may meet the featured artists, will be held on Sunday, July 17 from 3 to 5 p.m. Reception guests are invited to the café’s buffet from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. that day. “Our popular Sunday buffet enhances the festive setting of the opening of this exhibition,” said Ms. Cicogna. “We invite visitors to enjoy our ‘farm to table’ fresh cuisine while spending time with the artists and their work.” An early reception is slated for Saturday, July 16 from 2 to 4 p.m. to provide a preview of the art exhibition. “People will enjoy coming to this art showing because it will be an opportunity to see what the younger generation has to offer West Virginia’s art and culture,” explained Eric Dennison. A Sutton resident, he is pursuing a degree in Science and Nursing at Fairmont State University, with career plans in the medical field. But his passion sits on his potter’s wheel, where he finds himself. “Making pottery is like therapy to me,” Mr. Dennison began. “It’s a time I can think to myself and let my imagination run wild. When I make pottery, I work to make the most symmetrical and thin objects as possible. Having this freedom when I throw is what makes my work special to me.” Also a native of Sutton, painter Tiera Floyd recently won Creative Quarterly’s fine arts competition in the student category. “The tiniest detail entrances me,” said Ms. Floyd. “My focus involves capturing these intricacies centering on the human figure. For example, take a look at the palm of your hand. Each of the intricate lines, combined in their overwhelming mass, represent a unique personality and tell different stories.” Ms. Floyd plans a career in commercial art and aspires to work for a leading animation company such as Disney or Pixar. Her work as a graphic design student at West Virginia Wesleyan University has influenced her style as an oil painter. “Digitally, when zooming in to the maximum extent, detail is lost and pixels replace clear features. Realistically, when getting as close as possible to a human feature, details are enhanced and imperfections stand out. The opposition of digital versus reality challenged me to combine the two and let these forces feed one another,” she explained. The collection of work Ms. Floyd will share at the Town Square Café exhibition is a series of 12 paintings featuring aspects of faces of her family members. “This series is very personal to me. I used my own family photographs as references for the paintings. Each piece expresses a certain aspect of the subject person,” she said. “I look forward to people viewing my paintings and receiving their feedback.” Cherese Weaver, owner of Midland Trail Gallery in Lookout WV, has been working as a ceramic sculptor for the past 20 years with a signature style of hand-built, wood-fired stoneware. “ My inspiration comes from my imagination and creative interpretation of historic artifacts, architecture and ancient cultures,” explained Ms. Weaver. “Every piece is completely unique.” Using age-old techniques, Ms. Weaver is a master craftsperson creating museum quality pieces. “Because I use ancient wood-firing methods, which require up to 18 hours of intense heat, my pieces become dusted in wood ash that eventually crystallizes. The result is one-of-a-kind sculptures with the timeless appearance of historic artifacts,” she said. . During the art exhibition, on the weekend of July 22 to 24, the Town of Sutton will come alive with the the Artz Market, Sutton Dam’s 50 Anniversary Celebration and the Mountain Lakes Festival. “This will be a great time to visit Sutton,” said Ms. Cicogna. “There will be so much to see and do in downtown, at the lake, and at almost every business in town.” Saturday’s events include a pancake breakfast, the Artz Market walking tour, an art and photography exhibit at Braxton Motors Showroom, an art auction for Sutton OnTrac and a special movie showing at the Elk Theatre. Sunday features a float trip on the Elk River from Sutton Dam to the Gassaway Bridge hosted by Dairy Queen. During the entire weekend there will be 50th Anniversary activities at Sutton Dam, a tent sale at Hometown Events and Country Charm Gifts, and events of the Mountain Lakes Festival.

Town Square Café feels like an art galley itself. The 1900 building was originally used as the W. H. Lee Wholesale and Retail Hardware and Furniture Store, which was one of the largest businesses in Central West Virginia. Ms. Cicogna and her husband, Bob Pirrung purchased the three-storey Board of Education building with more than 12,000 square feet. “Because we were able to buy the building for a good price,” explained Ms. Cicogna, “we could afford to do the extensive renovations it needed.” And they have been busy with renovations since they first arrived. As a restaurant, Town Square Café serves wholesome fresh sandwich, salad and pasta dishes with modest pricing aimed at families. Special treats include soft-serve ice cream, root beer floats, tasty desserts and Starbucks coffees. The menu is online at www. TownSquareMarket.net. A Sunday “all you can eat” buffet has become very popular with Sutton residents. The café shares its home with the couples other business, a crafter’s playground where “no artist is left behind.” Controled Excentrics is a wholesale art supply and an open format public workshop. People – no experience required – are invited to experiment with a variety of crafts including pottery, stoneware, beading, soap making, glass fusing, porcelain, gallery glass, lamp shades, doll making, candles, mosaics and painting. Use of specialized equipment (such as kilns, clamps, art tools, etc.) is free. Crafters only pay for the supplies they use in their projects. “We have one rule,” said Ms. Cicogna. “People aren’t allowed to interfere with the art of others. Each person’s art comes from within.” The couple is opening a retail art supply store on the ground floor this fall. To learn more consult their website at www.ControledExcentrics.com |
