Earth and sky and the chaos in between are explored in this exhibition of art on paper by Mark Iwinski, Gregory Martens, and David Niec. Milwaukee gets a real treat as these well-established artists, with deep ties to Wisconsin, exhibit three very different approaches to their observations of the world. Iwinski will be showing his striking prints, watercolors and photography, Martens offers bold prints and collage, and Niec will show his exquisite ink drawings and watercolors. All three artists earned degrees at the Peck School of the Arts at UW-Milwaukee and have been good friends for decades.
