Upcoming Exhibitions

Wonderscape
March 20-September 12, 2021

Using circles, organic forms, and undefined borders, five artists working across media create their own wonderscapes.  They use the tactile nature of their materials to convey hazy, stream-of-consciousness, otherworldly dreamscapes based in reality but largely products of the mind.  In focusing on elemental forms, each of these artists crafts their own narratives about time and space and the ways in which we visualize, cope, and move through our own "wonderscapes." Featuring work from Adria Arch, Dana Filibert, Nancy Hayes, Alyssa Minahan, and Neil Wilkins.

Lori Schouela: Suspended Landscapes

March 20-September 12, 2021

Lori Schouela's paintings have a mystical quality to them–through subject, materials, and process, they become otherworldly. In her paintings we step into a fantastical, yet mysterious, landscape. Surfaces are lush with glossy pools of color, paths, and machines that hover in mid-air. Her paintings walk the line between an escapist fantasy and a dark warning of future chaos. A truly interesting landscape is not what immediately meets the eye, and Schouela's works will leave the viewer wondering what lies beyond the horizon line.
