Political post warning...

I will have several recent pieces (one collage, four small paintings) in the show Alternate Facts organzied by artist Joe Bun Keo (http://joebunkeo.com/) at the Ely Center for Contemporary Art (http://www.elycenter.org/) in New Haven, CT. The show will be on view Sunday, March 5 - April 9, 2017 with an opening receptions on Sunday, March 5 from 1-4pm. I'm very excited to be showing alonside Sheri Schwartz (http://sherischwartz.com/)  and David Borawski (http://www.rot8tor.org/). 

Alternative Facts is part of a group of five shows at the Ely House called "In Grace We Trust". The other shows will be “Nevertheless, she persisted,” “The Future is Women,” “Pay Attention,” and “Water is Life.”

 

 

These shows will take up the upstairs and then there will be another works downstairs.

 

The purpose of this is to honor Grace T Ely and to celebrate the gallery being reopened.

Galen Johnson’s book The Retrieval of the Beautiful (Northwestern University Press) is a dynamic discussion of existence and consciousness of human activity, including art. Johnson writes, "Here it is enough to see that beauty and the sublime blend into one another when the beautiful grows powerful, transcendent and majestic." 

Something beautiful seduces you and draws you in. We invite artists of all disciplines to submit work that explores beauty through a variety of styles, materials and processes.

Opening Reception: Thursday, June 23, from 6 - 8 pm
