Scott Espeseth:

Grey Matters

February 6 – 27

Annex Gallery

Reception: February 6, 6 – 7:30 pm

Scott Espeseth makes drawings and works on paper that evoke the eeriness of everyday experiences and have been described as “clairvoyant,” often depicting familiar spaces charged with a sense of dark presence, or other instances where planes of existence clash: the future sending messages to the past, memory intruding upon the present, or the subconscious bleeding into consciousness.

 

Profound Prints by Exceptional Women

Curated by Annemarie Sawkins

February 27 – March 20

Allen Priebe Gallery

Curator’s Talk: February 27, 5 – 6 pm

Reception: February 27, 6 – 7:30 pm

The artists in this exhibition —many celebrated, others less widely known—come from a variety of backgrounds and each has had different experiences navigating inherent biases in the art world. Despite challenges, these women have succeeded in developing their own unique artistic vocabularies. Their voices, as expressed in rich and diverse subject matter, are a hallmark of this exhibition.

 

Tony Conrad

free weave

March 6 – 20

Annex Gallery

Reception: March 6, 6 – 7:30 pm

Tony Conrad’s work has influences from various cultural and historical movements including Persian textiles, Tibetan Buddhism, psychedelic rock culture, and meditative states.  He is particularly drawn to the beautiful patterning that is central to these traditions. The repetitive mark making and layers of paint form a palimpsest of lines and patterns. The obsessive nature of reinventing the hash mark over and over again is therapeutic as it oscillates between order and disorder.  Guided by intuition to relinquish control over chance, a quiet history develops describing a journey – not a destination. Surpassing the physical limitations of the painted surface, his work searches for a place where chaos and harmony coexist.
