Grego Rachko: Voices in Other Rooms
Eric Kolbe: Colorspace
December 14th – February 6th
Artist Reception: January 11th 5-9 pm
Using acrylics to create saturated abstract
works of art, one will look at the painting and hopefully feel some kind
of connection or will be drawn to the colors themselves. There are really
no recognizable features in the art, except for the Abstract Flowers and
Color Stretch series of my work. It’s primarily color without borders
intended to create a visceral response. There are daily activities that
stimulate the brain chemically. Smells that bring you back to when you
were a child. Tasting something you remember from your most favorite
dish or meal. Seeing a loved one, or beautiful architecture, or painting
that truly makes you think and maybe cry.
Jonathan Happ: Illuminations
October 12th through November 30th, 2017
Artist Reception Thursday October 12th, 5 – 9 PM
Second Reception Thursday November 9th, 5 – 9
Jonathan Happ explores the ability of painting to suspend time. His current work evolved from investigations into death through religious and medical lenses,
and the most recent images explore the Roman Catholic concept of purgatory. These paintings allude to forests as a timeless spiritual place, while the unforgiving behavior of digital light leads the viewer through the darkness. The resulting work creates a reflective space that invites skepticism and expresses uncertainty.
