The closing reception for the Supertest
"Bit's & Pieces" show was held at
Tempus-Projects [
link] in Seminole Heights- Tampa, FL on May 6th. The show was curated by Gregory Green and Neil Bender. The works exhibited are diverse but their organic oddity tie it all together. I came away impressed with the use of space at the Tempus-Projects gallery in terms of color and flow. I found the show interesting and only slightly disturbing.
Here are few shots of some of my favorite pieces from the show.

There was overall warmth that I hadn't expected. That is especially difficult to achieve with such a diverse collection. But the curators Green and Bender pull it off. Among the weird and odd imagery there is a sense of humanity that comes across to the viewer. Bravo!
