The truth may indeed be found in wine. But FRED PLUMLEY has managed to deliver the two side by side — or, more accurately, one inside the other — with his exceptional new series of wine box paintings, painted on all sides and featuring poetry (aka, wine box maxims), once opened. (Examples: “The line between fantasy and reality is blurred / (Big Foot is loose in NYC)” or “Everything is just going to be alright / Don’t open wounds that won’t heal”...and much more!) They are, simply put, ENCHANTING WORKS. But should you happen to stop by Saturday, sadly the 3D space will look nothing like this. Nor will other wine boxes dangle enticingly from our ceiling. (And Fred’s three terrific large canvases will not be on the Wall either.) But we hope to convince the artist to keep some of his available wine boxes for sale at offthewallgallery.org. The timing would be fortuitous, to say the least. What better holiday present could there be than a couple of nice bottles in a unique work of art?!
