“Our rotational art openings continue on Tuesday, November 7th as we co-present, with Soapbox Arts, new work from our friend Will Gebhard.
Will is a painter whose work has been showcased around Vermont and beyond for the better part of the last decade. He’s created art for Foam by way of several mediums over the years, ranging from graphically designed beer labels, to paintings adorning the walls of the brewery, to sculptures hanging from our ceilings. As local gallerist Patricia TRAFton of Soapbox Arts puts it, Will has a knack for elevating the nagging insecurities and banalities of everyday existence to subjects worthy of aggrandized abstraction.
We can’t wait to feature this new collection from Will at our brewery and restaurant, Deep City Please join us on Nov 7 at 6pm. Food and drinks will be available at Deep City and of course, we’ll have you covered on beer.”
about the artist
’s most recent paintings in acrylic elevate the nagging insecurities and banalities of everyday existence to subjects worthy of aggrandized abstraction. Gebhard reduces figures and objects to their most essential geometric forms only to further minimize contextual cues by rearranging, bending, and ultimately intertwining the warped shapes into layered labyrinths of slick contours and bold colors. With an affinity for primary hues, Gebhard takes full advantage of the power of a limited palette. At once snapshots of past experiences, perceptions of the present, and ruminations on possible futures, Will Gebhard's paintings present a visual narrative of the social current we float within on a daily basis, willingly or otherwise.
