-Finally putting a post about this up (only a month later...sorry y'all)! The Try Me Gallery houses the private art collection of Pam and Bill Royall, and was named for the former inhabitant of the gallery building, the Try-Me Bottling Company. Pieces ranged from standard paintings to glass sculptures to whole-room installations designed like an office.
My favorite two pieces were the Kehinde Wiley piece pictured above and a piece that had combs on the wall with bristles gradually disappearing from the combs the further down the wall they got (since I didn't remember the artist's name and I literally combed - no pun intended - the gallery website for the piece with no success, it's not pictured). I absolutely love Kehinde Wiley's work; I love his style and his pieces always fill me with such awe. The comb piece, while not something I have ever tried, was really intriguing because I had never seen anything like it before. While I am not planning on using combs in my art anytime soon, it did inspire an installation that will be featured with my senior show - process posts for that will come in next week at the earliest.
