Collector’s Night | K. Llamas Collections

In this exhibition, Kristin will share her work from her three most popular collections that were all inspired by conversations she shared with local Nashvillians.

Featuring live music by Kelly Joyner & Jeff Goebel from Plan B.

At the event, Llamas will be painting (at 7 PM) in the gallery and signing books. All works are available for purchase during the exhibit through The Studio 208.

***Each ticket enters you to win an original 10×14″ canvas painting by K. Llamas. (Even if you can’t make the event, you can still purchase a ticket to enter to win the painting!)

One of the main collections that Llamas will highlight is titled Socratic Dialogues. In 2013, Llamas and late Parthenon curator, Susan Shockley, who was was Llamas’ longtime mentor, teamed up to host thirteen dialogues around the city in coffee shops, parks and even at the feet of Athena after-hours at the Parthenon. Those conversations led Llamas to create large scale oil paintings that will be featured in K. Llamas Collections.

Amongst the work exhibited, is the artist’s signature Ladder Collection which includes physical ladders adhered to large canvas paintings. Here, Llamas symbolizes the continuous climb to becoming our most virtuous selves. Also included in the exhibition are large scale llama portraits (yes the animal!) created for the Llamas Art Show Collection. This series has brought international attention through a global art movement coined “OneHerd.” Every llama portrait in the collection is named after a real person who shared their naming story with the artist at LlamasArt.com. These llama paintings symbolize unity, and led to the artist’s recent book “¿Como te Llamas? Everyday Llamas You Might Know.”
