GALLERY HOPPING



River's Edge Gallery, 3024 Biddle Ave., is hosting "Underexposed," two floors featuring work by 12 underexposed artists ranging from sculptors and painters to photographers and potters.

Photographer Marianne Letasi's exhibit, "A Life," is featured upstairs in the Patricia Izzo Fine Art Photography Studio and Gallery.

The show runs through March 14. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.

For more information, call 1-734-246-9880.

"Seeing and Drawing People," a three-hour workshop with a professional, live clothed model will be offered in the Home Gallery of the Downriver Council for the Arts, 20904 North Line Road, Taylor, from 9 a.m. to noon tomorrow.

Beginning- and intermediate-level artists can improve their figure drawing skills and develop observation skills under the guidance of instructor Mark Jackson.

The workshop will emphasize basic drawing concepts, including gesture, contour, measurement of proportion and simple rules for drawing the head and body. Artists must provide their own supplies.

Preregistration is required, and there is a $15 fee to participate. Call the DCA at 1-734-287-6103 to sign up.

"An Uncommon Life: The Still Life Paintings of Margie Guyot" and "Brian Buck: Points of View" are two new exhibits at the Downriver Council for the Arts through Feb. 15.

Guyot, of Charlevoix, who uses oil paints to depict still life paintings that evoke a lush and hyper-colorful world, will have her works displayed in the Home Gallery.

Buck, of Kentwood, uses a fine-point technical pen to create intricate, detailed drawings of the natural world. Buck's pen-and-ink pointillism drawings will be displayed in the Skylight Gallery.

"Carnivora — The Dark Art of the Automobile," a shadowy realm where flesh and machine coalesce into humanity's greatest technical achievement — the automobile — is on display through Feb. 27 at ŠPOP Gallery, 4160 Woodward Ave., Detroit.

More than 60 artists, including Robert Crumb, Mark Mothersbaugh and Niagara, contributed a piece of work for the exhibit and for a book of the same name.
