Nashville Art Exhibit: Jerry Bedor Phillips, Somewhere Between
The Viridian’s Mezzanine Gallery, AK Llamas, and emerging curator John Michael Woodlee present their latest Nashville art exhibit: Jerry Bedor Phillips, Somewhere Between. This solo exhibit will showcase an installation of prints and drawings by Jerry Phillips. The work will be on display from September 5th – 30th with an opening reception for the exhibition coinciding with the Nashville Art Crawl September 7, 2013, from 6pm to 9 pm.
Being of Pacific Islander Heritage and raised American, Phillips’ work seeks to clarify his identity as someone “somewhere between” two opposing cultural backgrounds. His original imagery seeks to bridge his identities.
“Printmaking is just like Drawing… only better.” – Phillips
