Elroy’s 2010 season of First Thursday art exhibitions kicks-off on April 1st with “Dreams of Eames”, a tribute to the design master in a group show of Mid-Century inspired art. The art for this show is exemplifies the palette, technique or subject matter relating to the period, and to Eames’ own design tenets.
Charles Eames turned his curiosity and enthusiasm into creations that established a whole new look in design. He achieved his monumental success by responding to the questions: Does it interest and intrigue? Can be made better? Will I have "serious fun" doing it? "The details are not details," said Charles. "They make the product." Lean and modern. Playful and suited to the space. Clean and beautifully simple. That was and is the ‘Eames look’ which the “Dreams of Eames” exhibition pays homage.
