The Art of a Play:

Cross Promotion at the NFCT

———————-

Artist Cynthia Wells was awarded a grant from the Huntington Arts Council to create works that explore the human experience through drawing the production of the play, “The Father”.

Wells has captured unscripted behind-the-scenes character studies of actors portraying a man’s descent into dementia. She was awarded the Huntington Arts Council grant for the project.  

——————-

“My drawing technique is animation drawing. I use design, detail, and exaggeration to capture the essence of a theatrical moment. This gives audiences (at the theater where the work will be exhibited) a different perspective on the play.” Cynthia Wells is an award-winning animation filmmaker and painter.

The art will be displayed at the NFCT before and during the play.
