Art shows on view August 2 – 30

Just Another Boring Still Life Show? by Julie AngelaTheresa, Gallery

My work is about capturing objects and people in a moment of time; not the time itself, there's no reference to what is going on where the object or person exists. Backgrounds are abstract as to not place the subject matter in a specific time. My aim is more to capture the subject. When starting a new work I asked myself, “Is this a new object? Is it old? Has it been used before? Is the person aged? Are they bright, new and shiny? Or have they been worn down from many years of use?”

Recent Prints by Jo Ann Rothschild,  Main Hall 

These etchings and monoprints mark a return to printmaking for the artist, whose recent exhibitions concentrated on painting. This work is exploratory, rather than aiming for a known result. Gesture, repetition, accident and the grid are elements that construct the images. Prints prioritize touch, the sense of the human. Rothschild says “When I print, I love knowing that centuries earlier, Rembrandt used the same process.”
