The Arts Collinwood Gallery will feature the work of  local artist, George Kocar.  In the words of artist, Douglas Max Utter in the LakewoodBuzz:

“Kocar’s long-standing reputation as one of our area’s most out-there
and over-the-top painters is based on a legacy of instantly recognizable imagery.
For a quarter of a century, his wide-eyed, banana-nosed and round-toothed
characters have played out a unique satire ofcontemporary life in America.
His work has been exhibited at the Cleveland museum of Art, and in galleries
in Paris and New York. He is the subject of numerous articles and receipient of many prizes and awards. By any standard, Kocar is one of Cleveland’s true originals.”
