Dallas Participates in Nation-wide Art Project
The
Nomadic Project is sweeping America, uniting the nation through art,
and Texas has just become the eleventh state to participate. American
Fine Art & Frame Company in Dallas is representing this unique
project by displaying Unveiling, an original, 24 x 30” acrylic
painting by artist, Kristin Abraham.
The Nomadic Project,
designed by artists, Kristin Abraham and Alfonso Llamas, has traveled
for over three months, connecting the following states: Florida,
Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Louisiana, and now Texas. One city in each state is
displaying an original Abraham canvas until November 13th of 2006. All
of the pieces will then reunite for a four-dimensional exhibit
including the forty-eight original canvases, a video documentary, and
original music by Alfonso Llamas. This exhibit is scheduled to tour the
United States in the path of the two artists, beginning in November of
2007.
American Fine Art & Frame Co. has been a leading
dealer in fine art since for over twenty years, and is conveniently
located in the Dallas design district. Owner, David Zueger showed
enthusiasm for The Nomadic Project while meeting with the
project’s creators, Kristin Abraham and Alfonso Llamas, on
February 28th, 2006. “Surprisingly, it hasn’t been easy to
find galleries that appreciate such an unconventional project, so when
we come across encouraging owners like David, we feel that all of our
hard work pays off.” explains Abraham.
The piece titled
Unveiling, will be available for purchase at American Fine Art &
Frame Co. until mid-November, when Abraham and Llamas finish Phase #1
of the project. Unveiling carries over inspiration from Louisiana, but
is extremely unique to Texans due to the fact that it was created while
the artists spent time in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Big Bend, El
Paso, Amarillo, Lubbock, Fort Worth, and of course, Dallas. Why not a
painting of Texas, in Texas? Because by bringing inspiration from the
previous state into Texas, state lines are blurred, thereby achieving
the goal of uniting such a diverse country, through art.
