Gail Severn Gallery

December & January 2025

 Lynda Lowe

This exhibition will feature a new body of work by Lynda Lowe, who navigates the intersection of the concrete and the mysterious, blending rigorous research and reflection with spontaneous creativity. Each piece balances deliberate detail with elements of chaos and improvisation, showcasing a rich tapestry of precise objects, gestural text, geometric diagrams, and expansive color fields. The result is a visually and symbolically layered offering that engages the rational mind and contemplative spirit.

Alex Rohrig 

As both painter and sculptor, Alex Rohrig’s artistic practice centers around the relationship between humans and nature, a relationship that can be all things at once—chaotic and serene, playful and serious, curious and familiar. Following the practice of artistic forebears, Moore and Duchamp and later Hirst, Lucas, and Tuttle found objects provide inspiration and often serve as a base for Rohrig’s sculptures. He responds to these found materials—bricks, whisks, bells, wire, and remnants of wood and stone through handling them, thereby letting the form of the material itself give rise to the final subject.

Pamela Detuncq

Pamela Detuncq’s tapestried taxidermy deer are immediately arresting to the eye, at once striking, colorful, and whimsical. Detuncq’s intent is not merely to create something visually compelling but to explore the question of what becomes of our identity when we are no longer among the living.  Just as the interlaid swatches of tapestries suggest a narrative, so the stories we tell about the departed reshape and reconstruct the dead after their passing.
