The walls of the Emma Darnell Aviation Museum and Conference Center are currently adorned with an array of pieces that push boundaries. The "Risk Taking Art Exhibition," which opened recently, invites viewers to contemplate the concept of risk through the creative lens of artist Michael "Jiggy Korean" Coleman. Each of the seven works on display represents different facets and outcomes of taking chances in life.
Michael Coleman's inspiration for this series is taken from his previous works, delving deeper into the idea of risk as both a catalyst for progression and a potential hindrance. "This series that I did is basically off of risk taking, the journey of risk taking, how it got us forward, or how it can leave us stagnant from moving forward," Coleman told Fulton County. His reflections emanate from the canvas, inviting personal introspection from guests willing to engage with the concept.
The exhibition is set to run for a limited time, providing a unique opportunity for locals and art enthusiast visitors alike to delve into a conversation about what it means to risk and possibly redefine personal boundaries. The choice to host the exhibit at an aviation museum is no coincidence, subtly intertwining the theme of soaring to new heights with human endeavors and the challenges faced when navigating unknown territories.
Art enthusiasts familiar with Coleman's work anticipate that his latest exhibit will not only showcase his artistic evolution but also challenge viewers to personally to consider their own journey with risk. "I did a seven-piece series coming off of my last show, and I would say I did a pretty good job of trying to describe what risk taking is," Coleman expressed with an aura of confidence that seems to both acknowledge the uncertain nature of risks and embrace its inherent rewards, according to Fulton County.
Fulton's arts scene continues to add diverse experiences for the community, and the "Risk Taking Art Exhibition" is set to be another jewel in the Emma Darnell Aviation Museum and Conference Center's crown. Those looking for an art experience that provokes thought should most certainly mark their calendars.
