DINAH WASHINGTON CULTURAL ARTS CENTER TO HOST
SYDNEY GRUBER EXHIBIT “BETWEEN US” IN APRIL
(TUSCALOOSA, Ala.) The Arts Council of Tuscaloosa will host an exhibit of work by Sydney Gruber April 2-30, 2021 at The Arts Council Gallery at the Dinah Washington Cultural Arts Center. Titled “Between Us,” the exhibit of paintings and 3-D work will open with a reception on April 2 from 5-8 p.m. during the First Friday Art Walk in Downtown Tuscaloosa.
Sydney Gruber invites you to connect with her world of raw energy through the mirror of art by exploring the relationship between the internal and external. She specializes in creating sublime meditation paintings that draw people towards the pulse of life in color. Moving through her like harnessed electricity, Sydney plays the role of interpreter and intuitively layers her colors and textures to chronicle experiences and environments. From large focal point paintings to signature chess sets, Sydney encourages you to consider abstractions and sensory impressions. She strives to match reason with passion and oscillates between living like the salt of the earth and sucking the nectar out of life.
Sydney works full-time as a creative in Alabama and enjoys her role in this modern art renaissance by pursuing expression, connecting authentically, and living in the discovery. When Gruber is not creating in her studio gallery and running her small business, she is on the move displaying her work in galleries in the Southeast, fine art festivals, and public art installations in both corporate and locally-owned businesses including FedEx, Wells Fargo, Microsoft, Bridge Capital Assets, 901 Property Services, Metal Removal Technologies, Black Warrior Brewing Company, and more.
Solo exhibits included those at Hotel Indigo, Harrison Galleries, DCI and Levee Galleries of Memphis, Tenn., Kentuck Art Center and the Tuscaloosa County Juvenile Court Center among others. Select group exhibits include those at Wesleyan Artist Market in Atlanta, 2020 Adult Juried Exhibit-Shelby County Arts Council, Kentuck Art Center & Museum, and Alabama State Council on the Arts Georgine Clarke Gallery.
