(Image: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHH" by Kenny Cole) (Gardiner, ME) Monkitree Gallery is presenting an exhibit entitled "Gold, God, Guns and Girls" by Waldo County artist Kenny Cole. On exhibit will be 20 large vibrant and witty gouache drawings on paper, challenging conventional wisdom in an explosive cacophony of words, dialogue and imagery. "We've come to enjoy Kenny's use of words and his challenging subject matter. This artist captures how we are bombarded by information constantly, yet still struggle to find the truth in words," states gallery owner, Clare Marron. She continues: "Or as Kenny puts it: 'Sometimes it seems as though, in this age of instant information, the more information that we have at our fingertips, the less we actually know and that the further we advance as a species the more we become steeped in myth.'"
(Image: "Confess" by Kenny Cole) When the gallery was first introduced to Kenny's work they fell in love with a series he calls "Prison Papers." On found prison forms, Kenny drew weaponry from the worlds arsenal. "We were amazed, given the subject matter, we could find humor in his work," enthused Marron. With "Gold, God, Guns and Girls," he again takes on serious subjects and makes us consider the power of words. He leaves it up to the viewer to "navigate this body of work to find their place between truth, fiction and the collective unconscious." All are welcome to come meet the artist at his opening reception on Friday, April 15th from 5:30 to 9:00 pm. "Gold, God, Guns and Girls" will run through July 9, 2011.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturdays from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm.
