Shenanigans

Artist Statement

Evolve Urban Arts Project is pleased to announce Shenanigans featuring works by Lindsey Applebee. This is the third featured show for Ms. Applebee who says "Painting and design are my tools for expressing myself, [they provide] freedom from everyday life, and a chance to get away." The medium of photography is what introduced Lindsey to pursue a career in graphic design and it gave her the appreciation and attention to detail that has become so apparent in her recent works.

Applebee enjoys exploring many different mediums and applications, using materials such as acrylic paints, metals, tapes, fabrics, and granulated paints to create textures and depth. She applies her materials with an assortment of brushes, spatulas and sponges to create different textures and depths. "My work is constantly changing from size to color, scale, and theme. The processes also vary at times, beginning with the background alone and other times working in layers", says Applebee.

The artist's latest body of work is entitled "Shenanigans" and Applebee says the work was designed to remove observers from the routines of day-to-day living and replace it with jokes, fun and horseplay.

Shenanigans runs May 14, through June 25, 2011. The Project space is located in the Pierce School Lofts at 1375 Maryland Avenue, NE, in the H Street Arts and Entertainment District. To view this exhibit, please call (202) 359.7368 for a private appointment.
