The latest art exhibition to be hosted at The Local Store and Volume One Gallery features the incredible works of Eau Claire artist Eric Lee. Describing his pieces, Lee says they are “expressions of wonder and empathy at lives I’ve not lead, at towns I’ve not built and at wars I’ve not fought.” Lee works primarily in oil in conjunction with a number of experimental techniques involving furniture satin, ashes, concrete, ignited gunpowder, digital components, and a variety of papers. His work is shown regularly throughout the midwest and in a number of private collections.

ABOUT THE LOCAL STORE: Opened by Volume One Magazine in November of 2010, The Local Store is now located in the first floor of Volume One’s World Headquarters at 205 N. Dewey Street in downtown Eau Claire. It’s a full-on retail store featuring apparel, books, music, art prints, glassware, gifts, and more – produced by, for, and/or about people in this community. All merchandise somehow evokes a sense of place in the Chippewa Valley or Wisconsin in general. Many artists, writers, businesses, and creators of the Chippewa Valley use The Local Store as a retail outlet for their goods. Online: http://volumeone.org/store
