The Lynwood Artists Gallery features work by Meritha Alderman, a multi-media artist known for her signature "paintings" created using dryer lint.
Alderman has a BFA in studio art and an MA in art education. She is originally from Roanoke, Virginia, and now lives in Martinsville where she is an art teacher at Laurel Park Middle School.
The Lynwood Artists Gallery is curated by Lynwood Artists, an organization for practicing artists in the Martinsville-Henry County area. Its members share a desire to stimulate understanding and enjoyment of fine art and the artistic process, while providing area artists with opportunities to exhibit and further develop their talents.
Featuring 44 etchings that the Spanish Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí created in Paris in 1934, as well as a portrait of the artist by Carl Van Vechten from the same year, this exhibition presents the unique proof set for the complete series of etchings that make up the first edition of Les Chants de Maldoror – the infamous 1869 prose poem by Isidore Ducasse. Curated by Dr. Michael R. Taylor, chief curator and deputy director for art and education, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
