The Day of the Iguana
Woodblock & Monotype Prints by Leslie Rose
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 18, 2024 from 3-5pm
I was captivated by these gentle creatures on a visit to the Galapagos in 2023. Their role in intellectual history, their environmental vulnerability, and their exotic appearance and behavior all spoke to me.
Secret Places: Photography by Claire Wright
Photography by Claire Wright
Opening Reception: Sunday, April 7, 2-4 pm | The artist will be at the gallery on April 6, 12, and 28
Secret Places weaves the macro and the micro, the static and dynamic, the cold and the warm. Each image in this collection represents a special place, special in a personal sense. Wright believes places are primarily experienced, and the best pictures are taken in familiar places that are truly known. A place can be a memory, a feeling, a physical experience; and the image created is an effort to convey these feelings or experiences. In addition to the external aspects of weather and the season, every photograph carries with it traces of mood, the worries and pleasures of that moment. These places are secret because, even if you knew the location, your experience there would be different. Wright uses classic macrophotography techniques, drone photography, multiple exposures and intentional camera movement to create her interpretation of ephemeral glimpses of her world.
Expressive Impressions: Linoleum Cuts & Artist Books by Deborah Schindler
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 10, 3-5 pm
Whether the subject matter is sheep or the graphic artist Jaques Callot, tiled walls or manhole covers, Deborah Schindler brings her unique vision of the world to light through linoleum cuts that come to life in a joyful array of patterns, textures and contrasts. Expressive Impressions, a compilation of recent original hand-pulled prints and artist books on a variety of themes, will be on display at the Washington Printmakers Gallery in Georgetown through the entire month of March 2024.
After Thought — emotional landscapes
Works by William Demaria, Erin Owen & Oliver Stern
Opening Reception: Saturday, January 20, 2-4 pm
After Thought explores overlooked aspects of the landscape with personal significance for each of the three artists, recording emotional experiences as opposed to simple observation. Demaria and Stern look to the past to understand the present, Owen looks to the present to understand the future. While all three of these artists have different perspectives on the landscape, they share a focus on the overlooked / afterthoughts of the landscape, which tell the most about humanity and the real state of our world.
