HAVE YOU BEEN EXPOSED?
Amy Chenier and the inaugural art show at the Crofoot Vernors Grill presented by artatthedge.com of the River's Edge Gallery October 13th at 7pm.



On Saturday, October 13th at 7 PM, the Crofoot is pleased to host the first of a series of art events presented by artattheedge.com of the River's Edge Gallery. Amy Chenier will demonstrate the work that has made her the painter in commercial sports circles. Chenier fully discloses her new work that is closer to her stream of her consciousness.

For years Amy Chenier has painted the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat in her celebrated sports pieces. Her works hang in the offices of Comerica Park, the private collection of Sergei Federov , and important sports collections worldwide.
Chenier's sports images explore the humanity of the athlete.

Her recent work expands on a more conceptual turn. Amy has made it a personal mission to incorporate into her work the theories of well-known and virtually unknown philosophers, scientists, musicians, and more. Martin Heidegger, Albert Einstein, Socrates, Marilyn Manson, Sylvia Plath and Madame Curie all find their way onto Chenier's canvas. Scientific formulas, religious symbolism and poetically inspired painting cover her pieces from one side to the other with a captivating brilliance of color and an attention to detail.

One of Chenier's latest painting, Rasta-Darwin, is of Charles Darwin and shows Darwin in


dreadlocks...a statement about evolution? Amy's free show is called Have You Been Exposed? Doors open at 8 PM, at the Vernor's Grill entrance to the Crofoot. The public is invited to meet the artist starting at 7pm.

Also appearing at the Crofoot on October 13th is the brilliant rock of Pinback, and the nerdcore rap of MC Chris, a regular contributor to the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim .

The Crofoot is located at 1 South Saginaw, in downtown Pontiac Michigan..
