February
Kathy Moss
Creating her own gesso and paint bodies from Renaissance recipes, Kathy Moss depicts botanicals as mysterious archetypes in her work. Keenly aware of the suggestiveness and psychological meaning attached to flowers, they address issues of power, solipsism, and hierarchies. Traditionally working in a monochromatic neutral palette, Moss decisively introduces subtle hints of color in this new body of work. This solo exhibition will feature large-scale oil paintings as well as smaller works on paper.
Lynda Lowe (Continued)
A continuation of her December exhibition “By the Light in Darkness,” Lynda Lowe’s paintings navigate 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 both the rational mind and contemplative spirit.
BARK (Part II)
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. Continuing from Rohrig’s solo exhibition ‘BARK,’ the February exhibition will incorporate the artist’s canine sculptures made of carved wood and stone alongside other interpretations of our canine companions by artist’s Theodore Waddell, Robb Putnam, and Berkeley Hoerr.
Group Exhibition
The February exhibition will feature a selection of the gallery’s internationally acclaimed and emerging artists with a focus on the representation and interpretation of our natural landscapes. The exhibition will include large-format photography by Laura McPhee and Laura Wilson and oils on canvas by James Cook and Theodore Waddell. Works by newly represented gallery artist Joseph Rossano will be featured alongside new paintings on panel by Pacific Northwest artist Anne Siems. Works by Michael Gregory, Betsy Margolius, Don & Era Farnsworth, April Gornik, and Pamela deTuncq will also be featured. Collectively, the works in this exhibition highlight environmental issues, celebrate biodiversity, and evoke feelings of wonder, inviting viewers to engage more deeply and reconsider their relationship with the world around them.
