Don’t miss this unique opportunity to immerse yourself in an evening filled with powerful words and captivating art.

On View November 21, 2024 – January 16, 2025 | Steven Elbert shares, “The exhibition is entitled ‘Monochromia,’ which features works in various media such as Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Conventional Photography and Pinhole Photography. The pieces shown are all monochromatic in color, but not necessarily black and white, reflecting how I often work to create imagery. Work without full color can be more powerful because it is direct and simple.”

On View November 21, 2024 – January 16, 2025 | Sharone Putter says of her work, "My art highlights worksites and nondescript events by the side of the road. Areas peripheral to the subject matter are semi-abstracted, bringing the narratives into prominence while retaining the potentiality inherent to the unfinished under-construction scenes. Hand painted enameled elements are attached strategically to the artwork, affecting the pictorial space and the narrative. At times, the elements serve to restrict access. At others, they invite us to take a closer look. The viewer of the artwork gains a shift of perspective regarding the mundane events, which, in turn, validates my decade-long engagement with the fleeting vistas and reinforces my commitment to the work.”

Join us to celebrate the opening of Sharone Putter's exhibition, Workspaces, and Steven Elbert's exhibition, Monochromia.
