Collection: The Mix Group Show - Enyart, Eubanks, Friday, Melodia

Niza Knoll Gallery presents the second of two group shows featuring artists from The Mix Co-op.

Mark Friday, Nancy Enyart, Victoria Eubanks and Kristy Melodia
Nov 1 – Dec 22, 2024
Artists Reception: Friday, Nov 15, 5-8 p.m.

Long-time member Nancy Enyart will continue to charm viewers with her hand-built ceramic pieces featuring all manner of creatures great and small—rhinos, birds, elephants and more! Sometimes solo, sometimes paired with friends or perched on structures, her sculptural pieces have muted colors but plenty of personality.

Victoria Eubanks is a mixed-media artist and long-time co-op member. The work in this show aims to give viewers a sense of place or sense of space—physical or dreamlike. Her paintings offer purposeful shapes; leaves, houses, chairs, a ladder, roughly rendered and reminiscent of something you can’t quite put your finger on. They offer intangible connection.  

Mark Friday expresses his quirky sense of humor through his assemblage sculptures. Some works in this show are figurative and filled with character, while others conjure fun contraptions or meaningless mechanisms. All are interesting collections of found objects combined to make something new and unique.

Having been a co-op member in previous years, Kristy Melodia, has rejoined The Mix! Finding her inspiration in humor and nature, this exhibit will showcase her delightful ceramic bee-hive bud vases and life-like sneaker sculptures. Her fabric-art skills will also be on display with colorful, dimensional “paintings” made from wool.
