A solo exhibition by Mary Penta

This exhibition, entitled "Glimmering Moments," explores themes of time and contentment. The paintings in this series are made to convey a passion for life, a hurry, and a mountain of ideas, all while still finding beauty and slowness. Through colors and symbolism, I wish to provoke questions of how to relish time and when to let go of a moment. My aim is for the viewer to have a feeling of magic that may lessen the ache of time. My inspiration comes from feelings of fleeting, flying, and fading hours, in turn making every moment in hindsight feel precious and magical. My visual inspirations are often from sites seen while traveling and exploring, observing animals, and consuming poetry and stories. My overarching goal with this work was to explore my own anxieties around years passing and memories being scattered everywhere. I believe the end product of the work shows that beauty is in the moment, in the past, and in the future. My hope for all my work is that it can be found as a relatable and comforting contribution to the world.

MILK TRAIN

Objects of desire– paintings, sculptures and photos of posed beautiful women fill our life and minds: constructing  a view women made to please, comfort, and soothe. But what about that feeling– a call towards something else. wild? Free? MILK TRAIN is a group show featuring work from artists exploring human nature buried in the depths of our patriarchal society.

This is a collection of art made while living while being an artist. Like every American with a soul, I’ve woken every day for a decade traumatized by the news from yesterday. In my personal life, there were desk jobs and waiting tables; homelessness, wealth, unbearable debt; people who are related to me, situationships, career flips, accidents, violence, drugs, cancer, death; And there’s also chasing and achieving dreams, traveling the world, buying my dream car, writing a restaurant menu, running marathons, learning a new language, realizing that I am willing to put my life in front of the causes I believe in. But all of that is just living, and we all do it. But from living comes emotions, from emotions come art; each of these pieces share the art that I felt because I lived.

Esta es una colección de arte creada mientras vivía, mientras era artista. Como cualquier estadounidense con alma, durante una década me he despertado cada día traumatizada por las noticias de ayer. En mi vida personal hubo trabajos de oficina y de mesera; hubo falta de hogar, riqueza, deudas insoportables; personas que son mi familia, relaciones indefinidas, cambios de carrera, accidentes, violencia, drogas, cáncer, muerte…

Y también está la parte de perseguir y alcanzar sueños: viajar por el mundo, comprar el coche de mis sueños, escribir el menú de un restaurante, correr maratones, aprender un nuevo idioma, darme cuenta de que estoy dispuesta a poner mi vida al frente de las causas en las que creo.

Pero todo eso es simplemente vivir, y todos lo hacemos. Y de vivir nacen las emociones; de las emociones nace el arte. Cada una de estas piezas comparte el arte que sentí porque viví.

M.F.A. Thesis Exhibition by Lauren Lee-Cabrera

In my landscape paintings I turn the world upside down. I bend reality with exaggerated

vibrancy, high value contrast, and athletic mark making to convey the power and drama

of nature. Trees are sliding off of cliffs, nature dissolves into blocks of neon color, and

once sturdy ground melts before one's eyes. All these elements work together to signify

the indescribable sensations and transcendent feelings engendered by nature’s

sublime.

In my recent paintings I have been contemplating my smallness within the infinite

vastness of land and sea. I am drawn to Kant’s ideas of the dynamical and

mathematical sublime--that nature can be both forceful and explosive, while also

revealing the infinity of the ever-expanding universe. In my work I weave these

philosophical ideas together with my treks through the wilderness and excursions

around the world. Nature has a way of leaving deep emotional impacts, and this work is

in the blurred space where these sublime feelings and memories merge.

A solo exhibition by Reagan Joseph Rico

“CANNED!” Is a celebration of collaboration presenting 10 illustrative beer can designs created by Holly Kimbrell for Derive Brewing Company and their industry partners. 

Holly began creating labels for Derive in 2023 while working for the brewery as a bartender. Together, they have developed a repertoire of more than 50 unique cans in partnership with other craft breweries throughout the country and abroad.  

Each label explores a world of its own, seeking to fully embody the unique vision behind the beer and its contributors. From demure cyborgs, to demonic cat-pilots, pastry astronauts and cop sharks, there’s something to suit every refined pallet. While the subject matter and style varies to suit the theme of the beer, the through line at the heart of both Holly’s art and Derive’s beer is full-spirited collaboration, ample creativity, and good humor. 

In a moment where more and more are turning to AI over partnership with creatives, CANNED is a celebration of the magic that happens when art is brought into business, and shared over a pint of good beer.
