Gail Severn Gallery

October
A continuation and elaboration on September’s various group shows titled Flower Stories, Surface, and Honoring Our Landscape.

November
Color
This exhibition features an array of paintings, works on paper, and sculptures, all united by their vibrant use of color. Artists such as Raphaëlle Goethals and Rana Rochat employ encaustic techniques to achieve deeply saturated, abstract compositions. Marcia Myers channels the essence of Italian frescoes with her use of natural pigments and expansive color fields, while Tom Hammick embraces the British Colorist tradition with his commanding hues. Scott Blazer brings a bold, expressionistic approach to paper and canvas using his custom pigments. The exhibition also includes contributions from Cole Morgan, Allison Stewart, Linda Christensen, and more, showcasing a diverse exploration of color.

Flora & Fauna
This group exhibition celebrates the changing seasons and the beauty of nature’s vibrant palette through the eyes of nationally renowned artists. Featuring a mix of painters, photographers, and sculptors such as Diane Andrews Hall, Jane Rosen, Hung Liu, Laura McPhee, Robb Putnam, Maggie Shafran, Gwynn Murrill, Pamela DeTuncq, Kiki Smith, Robert McCauley, Chris Maynard, Kathy Moss, Betsy Margolius, and Don and Era Farnsworth, the show highlights the playful and profound connections found in wildlife and landscapes. This curated selection invites viewers to experience nature from a fresh perspective through diverse artistic interpretations.

DECEMBER

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.

Past as Prelude
This major exhibition highlights a diverse selection of the gallery’s internationally acclaimed and emerging artists who will feature in upcoming 2025 group shows and solo exhibitions. The lineup includes Laura McPhee, Hung Liu, Rana Rochat, Kathy Moss, Raphaëlle Goethals, Linda Christensen, Betsy Margolius, Marcia Myers, Diane Andrews Hall, Allison Stewart, Chris Maynard, Kenna Moser, Lisa Kokin, Jennifer Markowitz, Don & Era Farnsworth, Kiki Smith, April Gornik, Squeak Carnwath, and Jun Kaneko, among others.
