Head to Toe Salon gets a fine art makeover this Saturday with a triple whammy exhibit from portrait artists Luke Tromiczak, Jamie Cook, and Luke Hillestad. Displaying works that call to "endurance in the face of dissolution" this varied yet complimentary trio of artists expose cracks in humanity through their wholly narrative work. See Luke Hillestad's darkly lush oil paintings which call to mind the old masters while still touching on modern themes; peruse figurative painter Luke Tromiczak's emotive (and often uncomfortable) interpretations of American life at its realest; and immerse yourself in Jamie Cook's whimsical visual tales that leave one curious as to the backstory of each character. And after you're done doing all of that, get yourself a new hairdo. It's a win-win, people.
