What better way to wel- come spring than with an art exhibit that fully cap- tures the season's beauty. And that's exactly what artists Barbara Anne Ramsey and Pat Vought have created for the Or - land Art Center's April show. Ramsey's richly tex- tured oil paintings and finely detailed colored pencil art are both fo- cused on the wildlife of the west. Thirty-five years as a professional artist and teacher of art have honed her talents well. Pat Vought's waterme - dia, oil and acrylics on can- vas are brimming with bold, brilliant color. Her subject matter is varied, but what the viewer first sees is the predominance of the primary colors and strong shapes Pat loves to create. Ramsey grew up in Cal - ifornia's north state and Vought began her life in Long Island, New York. But both artists share a love of their craft and the ability to capture interest and atten - tion with their skillful work. Meet both artists at a reception 3-7 p.m. Friday, April 4. There are always treats at the refreshment table and live music performed on a baby grand piano by this month's talented young pianist, Nick Leach. Gallery hours are 1-6 p.m. Tues - days through Saturdays. For winformation, visit orlandartcenter.com.

Second St. Tickets: $26 BoB & Tom Comedy by Leila Rodriguez lrodriguez@chicoer.com @leilarrodriguez on Twitter ChiCo » Connotations and sentiments people hold in in- animate objects are stripped and regenerated through the performance art of Diavolo. Elements of everyday life are approached in an honest and raw translation through movements. Brisk gestures and elon - gated limbs elaborate each performance in the Los An- geles-based theater group, and the cast Tuesday brings their dances to Laxson Au- ditorium at Chico State Uni- versity, courtesy of Chico Performances. Diavolo is architecture in motion. The performers aim to bridge the framework of the body with the world of structure. The name itself translates into "I fly through the day." "What we do on stage is like a live abstract painting," said Jacques Heim, artistic director, on the group's web - site. "There is no narrative, but strong themes pervade the work such as human struggle, fear, danger, sur - vival, chaos, order, decon- struction, reconstruction, destiny, destination, faith, and love." Heim founded Diavolo back in 1992 and the group has performed their moving pieces hundreds of times in many countries. A fluid blend of movement, ballet, contemporary, hip hop and gymnastic are uti - lized to illustrate each scene. "We really find different ways to move with struc- ture in more or less organic ways," said Chisa Yamagu- chi, performer and educa- tional director. "Sometimes we're working with struc- tures that call for us to do very particular movements and then we'll do move- ments that no one imagined we could do." It's taking this world an idea of structures and the different emotion behind malleable foundations. People feel very differ - ently walking into a door that leads into their home, opposed to a passage that leads a person into a hospi - tal, Yamaguchi explained. It explores ideas of how people feel very differently based on one's environment. said.
