The Fridge - Opening Reception for Tom Block 5:00pm - 8:00pm
The Fridge presents Tom Block Jiwar. Block explores the life of a painter-traveler both through a series of mixed media work and through theater. The opening from 5-8pm is free, but the performance afterward is not. The paintings are inspired philosophically by the 13th-century mystical text by the Sufi Farid ad-Din Attar, and visually by Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Bruegel. There are 2 large-scale pieces (each at 25’ x 6’) and a series of studies that give insight into Tom’s process.
