Wootini Gallery Presents :: “Little Green Men”
Opening Reception :: Friday, April 15th, 7-11pm

Wootini Gallery is proud to present Little Green Men, a show featuring artwork from current and former employees of North Carolina-based game development company, Red Storm. The guest curator, Andy Foltz, is a current employee of Red Storm and chose to include his co-workers because of the talent fostered and brewing at the gaming company. The result is an exciting look into the minds of these game developers who have had a hand in creating some of todayʼs popular tactical shooter video games, including Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon.

Of the theme choice, Andy says, “The theme of little green army men seemed like a natural overlap of Red Storm’s game franchises and the toy and pop culture interests Wootini represents. But the name “Little Green Men” also invites associations with aliens, Area 51, and top secret wartime research projects. So it started with the seed of military themed entertainment and toys and expanded into the wider universe.” There will be a variety of media in the show. Paintings, silk screened and digitally printed posters, papercraft, sculptures and even a handmade board game are just some of the artwork you should expect to see in this exciting show.
