happenings
Thursday, April 3rd from 5-8pm
First Thursday on State Street
Mick Victor’s artistic approach is a fusion of mediums, combining oils, acrylics, paper, canvas, pencils, charcoal, photography, and found objects—each playing a role in his layered storytelling. Instead of viewing these tools as separate elements, Victor treats them as an interconnected language, allowing spontaneous interaction between materials to shape the final composition.
Victor’s newest series, The Tea Papers, explores the delicate beauty of organic materials through an inventive process that merges flower fragments, oil pastels, pencils, and the translucent, timeworn textures of steeped tea bags. These layered compositions are ephemeral yet deeply expressive, revealing a balance between fragility and permanence.
Opening Reception: Thursday, April 3rd from 5-8pm
