Upcoming Exhibits

Alejandro Rubio’s paintings reflect his interest in creating imaginary landscapes that evoke a sense of familiarity. Pulling from his own memories, he adapts bits of the places inspired by growing up in South America, setting colorful cars, buildings, and streets in an urban grid. Turning towards the rural, the artist composes a sense of idyllic islands, complete with trees and a few small homes, within a tranquil ocean. Even within this peaceful setting, he reminds us of our responsibility to our planet, as personified as ‘the green man,’ a fedora-wearing entity beset by our disastrous environmental actions.

Dave Webb’s response to his wife’s cancer produced the grateful chair. Considering her path from terminal diagnosis to remission, the grateful chair is part love note, part meditation on mortality, and part unsolicited advice. With a video installation, dozens of still iPhone images printed on metal and the chair itself, the exhibit invites us to consider our own connections to love and loss.
