For we present “Cosmic Collaboration” that bursts with motion, color, and joyful imagination. It boasts a patchwork of bold colors—turquoise, lime, orange, violet, and red—each section added by a different hand, symbolizing the many artists who brought this piece to life.
The dramatic silver-gray mountains ground the scene, giving the sense that this cosmic journey is lifting off from a shared place of creativity and possibility. Flames explode from the rocket’s base in layered reds, oranges, and yellows, radiating excitement, energy, and momentum. In the corner, a tiny astronaut plants a flag, reminding us that exploration—whether in space or in art—is a brave and collaborative act.
The bright coral-pink background, splashed with expressive marks and textures, creates a sense of movement and freedom, making the whole piece feel alive and in motion. Every star, swirl, and color choice feels intentional yet playful, reflecting the unique voices of Wade, Stan, Danny, and resident artist Ashley, along with the Parkersburg Piccalilli artists.
This artwork isn’t just about outer space—it’s about what’s possible when creative minds come together. Cosmic Collaboration celebrates teamwork, imagination, and the idea that when we lift each other up, we can launch something truly extraordinary 🚀
You'll be able to see it for the first time at "Rinse and Repeat" Artbeat Studio art exhibit Friday, Jan 16- Feb 21 at the Parkersburg Art Center.
