A few weeks ago Nate and I went in to Sioux Falls for the evening to attend the opening for Anthologies in Flux, a show featuring the work of Diana Behl, Ceca Cooper, and Liz Heeren. It was a great show!
Each of the artists had abstract work that borrowed beautifully from the world around us.
{Concurrent - by Liz Heeren}
Liz Heeren's pieces were both quiet and grandiose; abstractions of a silent underwater world in which nature and man-made structures collide. They are both beautiful and uneasy.

{Ceca Cooper}
Ceca Cooper's work is deeply connected to the natural world here in eastern South Dakota. There is a flatness in her paintings that presses the subjects in her painting right up to the viewer, giving them the ability to see the world through her eyes.
{Diana Behl - March}
Diana Behl's work is also deeply influenced by her surroundings, these paintings are from a series of works named after the months. They evoke a sense of familiarity - they seem like snippets of memories. Their abstract quality makes them easy to become immersed in.
{Diana Behl - May}
If you live nearby, you really ought to make it out to this show. It is located in the Washington Pavilion and runs through November 13th.
Diana Behl's work is lovely.
