BLOWING ROCK — A new exhibition entitled “SHIP/SHAPE: Page Laughlin and David Finn” will open at the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum on Jan. 25, and will be on view in the Museum’s Fort Gallery through May 4.

“SHIP/SHAPE” is a dynamic exhibition featuring more than 20 paintings and sculptures that explore and delight in the various manifestations of ships as image, symbol and metaphor. The exhibition showcases two distinct, but interrelated, bodies of work presented side by side. Although at first glance the two artists’ work might appear radically different — in medium, use of color, physicality — on closer examination strong parallels emerge. Both artists’ works subvert expectations with layers of complexity and meaning. This marks the first time in over 30 years that the two artists, who are a couple, have developed an exhibition together.
