"I Saw the Light or How I made It Home"
Art Show Offers Unique Perspective
A visionary artist is casting a long friendly shadow over the Rudd Art Center beginning Saturday, January 22 through Friday, January 28, 2011. Angie Lane’s first solo show “I Saw the Light or How I Made It Home” is an exhibition of works by the artist who recently returned home to Alabama after spending the past several years in California.
Lane lived in Ozark during her early school years attending Carroll High and later Wallace College where her desire was to study history. She missed the enrollment deadline and ended up in a variety of art classes. She excelled in art and has been influenced by her friend, mentor and teacher at Wallace, Janet Hinton.
Lane’s work is shaped by her life, her experiences and the bridge that links her life and work…tuberous sclerosis…a rare genetic disorder which can affect any or all systems of the body. Lane was diagnosed with the disease when she was four and her adult life has been shaped by an iron tenacity and strength of purpose.
The body of work Lane created for this show is rooted in her personal history and features a broad spectrum of mediums and the range is impressive. There are abstractions bursting with energy and an ethereal display of fragile, life-size sculptural figures that will float throughout the gallery. A series of over 100 photographs, from the eye of the artist, will line the walls as small individual works of paper art. Everything is marked by a distinct blend of contradiction and logic…the differences speak to one another. Lane said, “Isn’t it wonderful that every moment we can say exactly who we are.”
