New Exhibit at anthill gallery & vintage curiosities


anthill gallery & vintage curiosities, in conjunction with Luna Gallery at The Yellow Moon Cafe, both of Cobden, Illinois, are featuring the works of two Southern Illinois artists during the month of October.

The exciting and innovative new work of Linda Bollenbach can be seen at anthill gallery.  Ms. Bollenbach is already well known for her lyrical cast sterling silver jewelry, especially her popular Tree of Life series.

Linda has turned her artful expertise toward adventure, however, with her new story-based designs. They are part jewelry, part sculpture.  They are evocative of times past and future hope; they are poetic steampunk stories told with homage to art and beauty.  They are, quite simply, wearable art designed to inspire the imagination and catch the eye.

anthill gallery also presents "The Art of Imagination and Color" by George Ions.  George's enchanting landscape paintings are exhibited at The Luna Gallery in The Yellow Moon Cafe and at anthill gallery.

George's oils echo his love of the outdoors, here and in his native County Durham, England.  His great passion is for painting landscapes and the wonderful skies that frame them overhead. George explains that the movement of the sun and clouds which change from moment to moment are a constant challenge to capture their fleeting magic on canvas.

Exhibition hours at anthill gallery, 102 N. Front Street, Cobden are Sunday and Wednesday, noon to 4 p.m.; Thursday and Friday, noon to 6 p.m. and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday.  The Yellow Moon Cafe, 110 N. Front Street, Cobden, is open Wednesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., reopening at 6 p.m. to 10p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
