"Figure" by Ben Hengst and Stephanie Shulstad

Ben Hengst and Stephanie Shulstad are local artists who have undertaken the task of exploring the many different ways in which the human body can be portrayed in works of art. In their show “Figure,” they have set out to capture the imagination of viewers by showing the beauty of the human form in oils on canvas and wood panel.

The paintings presented in this show are a sampling of the best of each artist’s individual style for making a work of art.The human figure is an interesting and easily identifiable subject to study. When used as a model for art, it can create a wonderful combination of aesthetic and emotional enjoyment.

The exhibit continues through Monday, April 9. The gallery is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
