WILSON HUGHES gallery invites you to the opening of West coast Painter and Art Car Artist Kelly Lyles sweetly nostalgic installation CANDYLAND. Come experience Art by Night on Friday June 3rd, from 5 PM to 9 PM at the WILSON HUGHES gallery, 117 Campbell Avenue SW, downtown Roanoke Arts District.
Lyles’s CANDYLAND installation contains over 50 small portraits of sugary treats from all over the world, and is shown with a 12 x 15 foot hand-painted canvas floor cloth of CANDYLAND, the popular Milton Bradley board game for children originally created over 70 years ago. The "Sweet Little Game for Sweet Little Folks" creates cavities just repeating the slogan. Lyles wants viewers to smile as they stroll down memory lane, or wander the Peppermint Stick Forest and the Gum Drop Mountains. This colorful, visual journey nostalgically evokes childhood memories in a lot of adults, and is definitely a child pleaser.
U can bet I'll be there!
