Aug. Artist at Inman Park: Christian Weaver

christian weaver Local Atlanta artist Christian Weaver has been creating art all of his life.   A member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Christian has a passion for native people and he focuses his work around indigenous cultures from around the world. 

Growing up in a loving family, “Home” was instilled as a place of strength, comfort, safety, and love.  This series, entitled “Home”  focuses on the living quarters of past Plains Indians, the tipi.  Though his ancestor resided in homes called “Wigwams”,  he chose the tipi because it is a recognizable symbol of native living. 

A passionate envirnonmentalist Christian often reuses old woods, metals, and canvas to create his art.  You will find different drawing and painting styles in this series, a reflection of the type of mood he is in when he begins to draw or paint.

Tell Me A Story: Finding Your Way Through Abstract Art
“Artwork allowing for inner exploration and to encourage sharing with others to promote community.”
by Rachel Q. Landers

June 2009 @ Inman Perk Gainesville

More about Rachel:
Rachel Q. Landers earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art, with a concentration in Scientific Illustration from the University of Georgia in 2006. She currently lives in Gainesville, Georgia.
Rachel’s artwork, by moving away from realism, acknowledges that viewers bring a lexicon of experience and concurrent emotion to a painting. She would like her artwork to encourage discourse – facilitating storytelling and a sense of community. This holds a significant place in her art and philosophy.

Tying together aspects of life and nature with spirituality, Rachel creates mystery, in essence – pos sibilities. When creating her art, she feels it is challenging as well as freeing to accept change and adapt to what emerges. By layering perhaps unusual combinations of shapes and colors which contrast and resolve, her work represents life with its undulating tensions– and sometimes surprising beauty. She wishes to broaden her outlook visually as well as in day to day interactions. It is an optimistic process.
