Khalil Allaik: Manifesting Form

Lafayette College Art Galleries Williams Center, 317 Hamilton St., Easton, PA 610-330-5603 Galleries.lafayette.edu January 6–February 9, 2022

Khalil Allaik: Manifesting Form features works of art that have endured the artist’s multivalent contemplation of formal ideas and how these ideas come to life as drawings, sculptural assemblages, etchings, or carved objects. Allaik takes these forms and plays with them through various materials and media, and gleans from the material the best expression of this shape. At Lafayette College’s Williams Center Gallery, you will see how these forms change as they manifest themselves through various artistic genres, from drawings to prints, to sculptures. Allaik’s creative work and artistic practice place him in a rarified position with one foot solidly planted in the rigors of academic investigation, and the other in conceptual formalist play.

Rembrandt’s Return: A Complement of Prints

Allentown Art Museum 31 North 5th St., Allentown, PA 610-432-4333 Allentownartmuseum.org Through March 27, 2022

Here’s a fresh angle on the Museum’s Portrait of a Young Woman, painted by Rembrandt in 1632. After appearing in an important Rembrandt exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada, the recently cleaned and conserved painting is cast in an illuminating new context, surrounded by a selection of his etchings. Featured are six prints from AAM’s collection, works from the Martin Art Gallery at Muhlenberg College, the Philip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art, and the Bryn Mawr College Art and Artifact Collection.
