UP Focus: Madrigal & Russ

UP Focus:
Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal & Ann Russ

UP Focus is an ongoing exhibition series that highlights artists who are from, living in, or heavily influenced by the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Leopoldo Cuspinera Madrigal is a Mexican artist who was based in the Upper Peninsula for several years. His landscape paintings investigate the spirit of place through abstracted forest scenes and vast washes of sky and land. Ann Russ is a ceramicist based in Marquette and her ceramic urns, reliquaries and Spirit Bowls are well known in the region. Russ’ work explores the ethereal and symbolic spaces between nature and architecture. Both artists will present recent bodies of work for the exhibition.
