The Scarab Club
If you are in the Detroit area I suggest you go see the Art of Nature exhibit at the historic Scarab Club. It features the works of Andrzej Sikora and Todd Erickson.
Erickson's bronze sculptures are delicate and beautiful set against a backdrop of Sikora's large and colorful paintings. There are twelve 6'x 9' paintings entitled The Four Seasons and twelve bronzes. The paintings overwhelm and envelope the viewer through their sheer size and rich textures while the delicate sculptures invite you in, making you feel as if you have discovered a secret and magical place. This is a exquisitely balanced show on multiple levels and a great conversation between two artists' work.
Here are a few of my favorite sculptures...

I will try to make it back to the gallery to get better photos of Sikora's paintings.
