Community Corner
Textile Artist Michael Rohde Exhibition and Reception
During the month of October, the vivid woven tapestries
created by distinguished Southern California artist, Michael Rohde, will be displayed
on the Art Wall of the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Santa Monica.
Rohde mixes many of his own dyes to achieve a range of colors and contrasts in
his pieces, which address the impact of human and natural causes on the
homes and lives of people. By limiting the vocabulary to color and woven
texture, the works are better able to stimulate reactions and emotions that
these raw color and spatial relationships can have on the viewer.
Rohde’s weavings are for sale and a portion of the proceeds
will be donated to the church.
Rohde studied at the Glassel School of the Museum of Fine
Arts in Houston, where he was heavily influenced by the teaching of C. Arthur
Turner, based on Bauhaus approaches, notably Joseph Albers and Johannes Itten.
