Contemporary artist Reginald Baylor of Milwaukee will present a new exhibit: Mason Dixon Lines at the Kenosha Public Museum's Paula Freck Touhey Gallery. Acrylic on canvas is Reginald Baylor's usual medium of choice, working with large-scale figures and landscapes in bold and complex colors in a Pop Art style. His new mixed media works explore many different materials that remind him of his Midwest blue collar, manufacturing upbringing. Fabrics, leather, wood, and metal are translated into Reginald's primary focus of line, shape, and color. He uses various digital, mechanical, and manufacturing processes to create his artwork.
