When we think of “erotic art,” sensuality is what comes to mind. Each of us has a different perspective and experience in regards to desire, passion, and sensuality. Sharing those interpretations are what makes an erotic art show exciting, engaging, and FUN. The world could use an extra dose of love and levity right now.
Banana SPLIT is inspired by Omaha’s original Biennial Erotic Art Show that began in the late 1980’s at the 13th Street Gallery Collective. The show later moved to the Antiquarium and was a beloved event of Omaha’s art community with its liberating theme.
Artwork from more than 30 artists will be featured in this show, showcasing individual interpretations of eroticism in a variety of mediums.
Contributing artists include:
Daryl Anderson, Wendy Bantam, Lori Elliott-Bartle, Ann Brugenhemke, Kim Darling, Lori Elliott-Bartle, Larry Ferguson, Chad Fonfara, Rob Gilmer, Walker Greene, Jaim Hackbart, Bill Hoover, David Jenowe, Bekah Jerde, Alex Jochim, Mari Johann, Jeff King, Anthony Licari, Shawnequa Linder, Sharon Manhart, Tim McEvoy, Amy Nelson, Tony Oliveto, Abby Phoenix, Kristin Pluhacek, Jill Rizzo, Sarah Rowe, Rachelle Schieffer, Trudy Swanson, Patty Talbert, Lori Tatreau, Bart Vargas, Toan Vuong, Brian Wetjen, Linda Young Williams, and more…
Splatterscapes – The Art of Charles Baughman
Opening reception:
Friday Feb. 15 – 6pm to 8pm
The show continues:
Saturday Feb. 16 – 10am to 5pm
Artist talk and painting demonstration on Saturday from 1pm to 3pm.
After 32 years, Charles Baughman is very excited to be back in Omaha!
Nationally recognized, Wichita-based artist and educator Baughman creates beautiful landscapes full of energy and movement in his signature expressionist style; the beautiful colors of Monet meet the action painting of Pollock. Up close, the works are abstract; but step back and the landscape reveals itself amidst the splatters and swirls of paint.
What a fun evening! Over 100 people came out to enjoy lots of artwork, fantastic appetizers, and delicious beverages while learning more about the incredible homes that Sierra Homes designs and builds. Artwork by Michelle Woitzel, Lynne Hansen, and Tyler Curnes is regularly featured in Sierra Homes’ model homes.
We’d like to express extreme gratitude and thanks to everyone who came out to Bart Vargas‘ exhibition and studio sale yesterday. It was a great success, with a steady stream of visitors all day, many fun conversations, and A LOT of artwork sold!
