As long as I can remember, the Phoenix Airport has had a small art gallery featuring works from local artists. The new gallery is even bigger and since the gallery is celebrating 30 years at the airport, it's great that they have a space that draws attention.
I stopped in for a look around and saw several pieces that I admired. The one above is called "Food Yet" by Baje Whitethorne. I'm a big fan of Whitethorne. I've owned several prints he's made.
To the left is a weaving by Helen Burbank and it's called "Flight". Perfect for an airport gallery, don't you think?
In the top photo you might be able to make out a large mural on the back wall of the museum space. It was painted by Hopi artist Dan Namingha. It's a beautiful landscape that is 26 foot wide.
They have very nice art there.
ReplyDeleteI love the "flight" weaving!
ReplyDeleteDo people buy large pieces like this at an airport - I guess they have them shipped home!
ReplyDeleteIn the first two cases, they're very colourful works.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! We used to have a small art gallery in our airport, but sadly it has disappeared.
ReplyDeleteOh yes I would have to have a look in here too Sharon, what a super opportunity for local artists to sell their work!
ReplyDeleteA nice place to kill some time while waiting for a flight.
ReplyDeleteThe weaving "Flight" is my favorite, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSO many different types of art these days, some of it is really imaginative.
ReplyDeleteALL airport should have art galleries!
