Two artists from Jay are coming together for “DOUBLE BILL,” an exhibit featuring the art of William Dilworth and Bill Evans, friends who explore their response to the natural world around them through representational and abstract forms. The works featured vary in size and palette, always providing something thought provoking for everyone.

Dilworth’s artistic journey is about symbolic storytelling. Based in both New York City and Jay, his abstract works often originate from details of our natural world, such as a tree limb or a fingerprint presented on unconventional surfaces. His creations are organized into distinct series: Countmarks, Touchmarks and Woven Limbs.

For Evans, geography has played a major role in defining his work. His travels have taken him to both wild and urban environments in France, South America and New York state. He explores the landscapes genre through both colorful paintings and wooden installations made from found material. Abstract and representational forms are blended to explore the contrasts between urbanization and wild existence.

An opening reception with the artists is planned at the Tahawus Gallery on Friday, July 5 from 5-7 p.m. RSVP to 646-734-7151 or tahawuscenter@gmail.com.

The Tahawus Cultural Center in AuSable Forks is now on the National Register of Historic Buildings. Its cultural programs and exhibits shine a spotlight on local artists, artisans and educators. Exhibits are free to the public and the artists.
