Forged in Steel and Oil

CHARLES EMLEN doubles down on his local debut in PROCESSES INTERSECTING SPACES , coming right back with another electric installation in our 3D space. This time the screens are down but technology remains the focal point, with eight major sculptures jockeying for attention — each deftly marrying the conceptual with the traditional.

The Wall becomes the domain of two artists who immediately ascend the ranks of the painters in our community. KAREN STABENOW , brush and palette knife in hand since the 1970s, returns with 17 works — and an emphasis on the theme that introduced her to us last year: the alarmingly rapid warming of the Arctic. (These works, in turn, may inspire fellow artists entering our upcoming juried show, SUMMER SOLSTICE .)

SERGE KRUPNOV joins in with 23 more paintings, in his very first show in our space. Drawing inspiration from many sources, including the employees of his company, Serge’s art runs a wide gamut — riveting portraiture, paeans for spaces lost in time and lucid moments of transcendent, sometimes fleeting beauty.

The newly minted MARY LIZ FELLOWS join 36 other artists who have received this highest accolade in our community. These 48 works (as well as seven more available only online) ensure their places in this lofty company. But we are always INCLUSIVE, not exclusive. In this spirit, the most important person we want in the room — to experience and re-experience an unforgettable show, now through June 16 — is YOU!
