Brooks Cashbaugh: Demotic Emolument (of The People, a reward for Good Work) May 12 - July 7, 2012

artist's reception, Thursday, May 10th, 5-7pm

"There is a spirit in the figures from history that seems to be forgotten. Many of their names are little known or unknown and I think that's a problem. The legacies of figures are ripe for revival. It's time to look back at these icons with new eyes in hopes of inspiring new ideas and spurring new actions. The paintings seek to remind us of these forgotten currents of American identity by utilizing the misused or overlooked elements of different forms of visual art that compliment the ideals of these figures." Brooks Cashbaugh, April 2012
