There’s still time to visit the art galleries on McPherson before the current exhibitions end. (See the website links for details.) Curators and gallery owners are usually on site, and learning about the art from the experts makes the visits even more enjoyable.
Philip Slein Gallery, 4735 McPherson, which is open Wednesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is showing works from:
Philip Slein pointed out that the signage for the current exhibition is printed in the colors of the Ukrainian flag.
Time Effects, by Richmond Burton, above, and a few beautiful paintings by Eva Lundsager, below.
At projects+gallery, 4739 McPherson, which is open Thursday through Saturday, 12 to 5 p.m., the current exhibition’s curator, Margaret Rieckenberg, explained that “Mostly” is geared toward those interested in building a collection. Most of the exhibited works are on paper and “emphasize the belief that art is meant to be lived with and that collecting art should be enjoyable rather than intimidating.”
At Duane Reed Gallery, 4729 McPherson, open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., you’ll find Luanne Rimel’s current work featuring photographs printed on silk, pieced and hand-stitched, see below.
Duane Reed is also featuring Matt Mitros’ ceramic and mixed media sculptures. Mitros is an assistant professor at Southern Illinois University.
Houska Gallery, 4728 McPherson, open Tuesdays through Sundays 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., is featuring works by Alex Paradowski and Foster Owen Atkinson.
Alex Paradowski’s “Self Contained,” hand cast paper cubes & acrylic.
Paradowski’s “Digital Fern,” hand cast paper cubes & acrylic.
Foster Owen Atkinson’s mixed media assemblies are exhibited in the main room. Here are just two of his amazing pieces.
We’re fortunate to have these galleries in the neighborhood. I hope you will take time to stop by and witness all the creativity up close.
The next gallery openings are planned for Saturday, April 9, to coincide with the CWE Back in Bloom event. Be sure to add that to your calendar.
Beautiful and diverse. We are lucky to have them in our neighborhood. Thanks, Nicki.
