Join us for an afternoon of art as we celebrate the opening of new exhibitions, including solo exhibitions by McCain McMurray and Rosemary Lucktt, the group show Garden & Gallery, as well as a 50 for 50 Spotlight by Lakshmikant Gupta.
Shape & Surface by McCain McMurray
Overlapping planes of color animate the works in a continuation of and expansion of McMurray’s earlier joined panel work. These works are cut and shaped to form interlocking forms of mostly primary colors inspired by the ideas of the De Stijl movement. The simplicity and primary colors allow an order that provides a dynamic that moves between reason and intuition.
Searching and Shelter by Rosemary Luckett
Luckett’s exhibition reflects on movement as a fundamental force in human life—moments when individuals are compelled to search, leave, or transform. Some journeys are visible and life-altering, while others unfold quietly until they emerge into awareness. Through an intuitive practice of layering paper, paint, and assembled forms, she allows images to evolve and reveal their own meanings. Created amid contemporary debates around immigration, the work also reflects broader histories of migration and the enduring search for home.
50 for 50 Artist Spotlight: Lakshmikant Gupta
“If not for human emotions the world would be just a bland mix of colored chalk. Humans express themselves via nuances of how they carry themselves – how they sit, the gesture of a finger, placing of a hand, their attire and ornamentation.”
Gupta’s art is an examination of these human forms and moods. Through her art she desires to gaze at the grace, the dignity, and vulnerabilities of people by veering away from traditional portraiture.
