June 15 - August 28, 2021
From the organizers:
“Light Layers” is an exhibition of oil paintings by the artist/illustrator Lynn Sweat each which seem to hold a secret. Moody and yet vibrant, Sweat’s bold use of color draws the viewer into a magical otherworld. Widely known for his illustration of “Amelia Bedelia,” Sweat’s fine art also inspires a sense of narrative.
His current work is a special treat to view at The Avenue Cafe brought to the public by The Art Studio, Inc. in Beaumont, Texas. Sweat, a Lamar University alumni, has lived out of state for decades but fondly remembers Texas. “My childhood was spent on the coast of Texas. My first memories are those of being close to nature, dragonflies, turtles, frogs, ducks, wild geese, birds and clouds.”
