Get Lit: A Spotlight on Minnesota Artists
Presented by Douglas Flanders & Associates

Today, we’re getting lit with Minnesota artist Andy Iverson.
Through a strong use of strong lines, bold colors and sculptural shapes, Iverson’s paintings hum with a barely contained energy. Arranged into emblematic compositions, his works convey symbolic powers the artist willingly shares with those willing to participate.
By participation, Iverson means for the viewer to become a part of the work by deciding what it means to them. But don’t worry. Iverson makes it easy. He only asks that you look one line, color and shape at a time. That’s it. Your life experiences will lead you where you need to go. There is no right or wrong. Heck, every time you view the same work you might come to a different conclusion because you might not be the same person anymore.
Iverson believes that art is a potentially powerful force but one must first succumb to it fully. Only then can its power be shared and exercised purposefully.

I will be exhibiting some old and new works at the Fine Arts Company in Hagerstown, Maryland. The show will run during November 2014 with the opening being held Saturday Nov. 8 from 6:00pm-8:00pm

If you just happen to be passing through Southwest Michigan stop by The Howard Performing Arts Center on the campus of Andrews University. My painting "Wild and Wonderful" is on display for the next year. Its 5 feet tall and 7 feet high so you shouldn't be able to miss it.
