Anticipation Abounds During the Month of October. . .

Boo! Who? From ghoulies and ghosties and long-leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night -- at SoBoBo Black Magic Abounds! Spells and chants are cast as the mystifying art and scary sculptures lurk about celebrating Halloween. Over 40 artists are now featured. Textures galore reverberate! A place so intriguing, you wonder why you are lured back again and again. Unless of course it’s the spell Walnut Beach Witch has cast! After all she is arriving promptly at 6:00 pm on October 31st!

Stroll through SoBoBo Art Gallery, be taken by surprise as sculptures capture your attention- "I Call Him Spike" or "Spike" for short, copper/bone sculpture by Michael Brotschul creates a "disturbia" within, as his "Body Armor" sculpture resembling George Washington Irving's "The Headless Horseman" frightens you.

"Larry," mixed media sculpture by Luke Lynch reaches out to touch you, "Deliver Us", mixed media collage by Doll Barnes, scares you into believing. Charlie Bell’s "On the Edge of Lethe", oil painting, brings to mind the edge of evil as does Catherine Fiehn’s photograph “Souless“ brings evil to life.

Allan Dudek’s "Prom Date", mixed media collage, can only bring back memories of a Halloween date gone bad. . .and

is enveloped by

Andrew Hungaski’s “Bad Suit."

Michael Brotschul’s

“Flaming Skull” shows how the date finally ended.

“Claws” traditional photography by Don Garbera, brings back the memories of storytelling by our older siblings with the flashlight highlighting their faces in the darkened room as they begin telling about “the Claw”… Frieda Howling’s, "Tree of Life" leaves a haunting.

Cynthia Rifkin’s “Watchers” builds the paranoia for a scary night as “Imagine” a monoprint by Luke Lynch makes one wonder “Maybe it can really happen."

In the ‘tween of it all - the scares and howls - are wonderful art works by Marian Doherty, “Karma…” and “Erupt” as the spacial pieces seek other dimensions. Jon Westberg’s tables add to the sculptures creating the dimensions as you look at them. Matt Roe’s "Misty Mountain Hop," shows the mystifying mountains echoing many calls. Hand woven rugs and ‘thrawls’ by Patricia Burling keeps us warm in the coming cool weather. Nancy Boccuzzi’s hand knitted scarves and shawls keeps us warm as we go to work or school. Patricia Shea’s felted hats keeps the heat in and Mary Anne Lagana’s lined, vintage cloth jackets can dress up a pair of slacks in a heart beat for work and even a long skirt for the upcoming holidays!

Decorating the house for Halloween can add flavor to the candy gifts that are being given to the “Trick o’Treaters!” You must come and visit to experience it! See you there my deary!
