Art at the Airport

Showcasing cultural vibrancy of our community
​to the nearly one million visitors every year.
ART AT THE AIRPORT

Kate Hoyer, Michael Ryan & Qc woodturning Club

 August 31 - October 31, 2022
​
Quad City Arts’ Art at the Airport presents oil paintings by Kate Hoyer of Yorkville, IL, oil paintings by Michael Ryan of Cedar Rapids, IA, & wood turned art by the QC Woodturning Club.

Kate Hoyer

Oil painter from Yorkville,  IL

Kate Hoyer is an oil painter from Yorkville. Her animal portraiture combines the use of lines and color to define the subject. The use of stripes moves the subject away from the over-sentimentalized aspect of portraiture, while using the color combinations to capture a variety of moods and tones to ground the composition. “I enjoy redefining subjects with colorful stripes, I feel it changes how we view well known images,” says Hoyer. The focus of these colorfully striped forms is to investigate how both line and color can be combined to fit together in an overall composition despite being diverse.

Michael Ryan

Oil painter from Cedar Rapids, IA
​
Michael Ryan is a landscape painter with his MA in Painting from the University of Iowa. His body of work combines influences from the New York School tradition and Bay Area representational painting to create the natural landscapes around him. “I paint my world, be it landscapes, interiors, or figures,” says Ryan. “My work features bold color, expressive brushwork, and a narrative.” The heavy focus of the work revolves around the colors represented, the brushwork, and a stripped-down set of images that are woven upon the canvas. These stylized landscapes feature compositions formed by stacking one plane on another, often featuring strong vertical elements played against strong horizontal elements.

QC WOODTURNing CLUB

Wood turned art from the Quad Cities

The Quad City Woodturning Club has members in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. The club’s purpose is to foster a wider understanding and appreciation of lathe turning as a traditional and contemporary craft and art form among the public, hobbyist, and professional turners. The second important purpose so to teach safety and turning techniques to adults and youth via monthly meetings, articles, symposiums, public demonstrations, and private lessons. Selections of outstanding wood turnings by members will be on display.
