OPENING

The New BLK

“Face FWD,” a solo show featuring new work from Gerard Pefung. Opens Feb. 17. Opening reception, 7-10 p.m., Friday, Feb. 17. The 200 sketches in the show document Pefung’s creative process from its earliest inception to his finished paintings. The process is one of free flow and instinct in which intuition is the guiding tool. Pefung is raising money and awareness for a public art project he is launching in his home country, Cameroon. The U.S. Embassy and the Cameroon government have agreed to allow Pefung to work with local artists and citizens of Cameroon to share the vision of street art, helping to change the way people think and live. Pefung has worked as a mentor in Omaha for three years, guiding and facilitating community art projects with students and at-risk youth. This energized, emerging artist will continue to explore ways to contribute to his home communities on both sides of the Atlantic through artwork. 1213 Jones St.
