UMBRAS An Experimental Light Installation by Chad Amos Self Wednesday, January 16 th , 2013 5:00 – 8:00pm Hera Gallery presents a one night experimental light installation by gallery member Chad Amos Self, entitled Umbras . The one night show will take place in Hera Gallery located on 10 High Street Wakefield, RI on Wednesday, January 16th. The public is invited to attend that evening from 5:00 to 8:00pm.

Now if you want to know him face to face - or at least his paintings on canvas – all you need to do is check out The World’s Smallest Art Gallery. Several of his pieces are on display until February 1, 2013. Nick has a doppelganger named Mr. Munk or Munko McFunko. He is an overweight, ugly, older, sourpuss version of Nick. Mr. Munk could be Nick in twenty years if things went really wrong. This character is one aspect of Nick’s art that makes it unique and engaging. Mr. Munk suggests that among all the co...
