CAMOFLAGED OPERA DRAWINGS

Jackson Pollock, the Big Daddy of Abstract Expressionism, took spontaneous thoughts and feeling to a canvas, creating works of visible energy. Conversely, Kansas City artist Russell Ferguson generates electricity from drawings referencing opera and its high-season melodrama. As the title implies, this intensity and subterfuge is clearly visible in his current solo exhibition at the small gallery on Troost Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri.
