Upcoming EXHIBITIONS
Gary Cawood: Field Notes
Opening Reception: January 19, 2024
January 19–April 24, 2024
Loft Gallery, The ARTSpace on Main
Photographer Gary Cawood is often drawn to sites where natural contours of the landscape have been disturbed or disrupted, such as abandoned quarries, or excavations for new construction projects. As the landscape goes through a transformation via human persuasion, nature inevitably asserts its own transformations and converts the shiny and new to the tarnished and worn. His work in this series of 33 images emphasizes scale as an element of visual composition, exploring various ways the measuring scale can be integrated into the scene, sometimes titling the effect to be more ambiguous than factual.
Dialogues With Mother Earth: Drawing to Save the Planet,
By Erica Daborn
Opening Reception: February 22
February 22–August 16, 2024
Kennedy & International Paper galleries
Erica Daborn uses her art as a socially transformative tool to generate positive change by capturing the attention of the public via 13 large-scale charcoal-on-canvas murals. Each artwork opens a discussion about a series of critical issues facing the planet and our respective roles as participants in creating change. Issues like the culture of consumerism and waste, the food crisis, endangered species, and climate change are presented via scenes of ambiguous characters that blur race, culture, and borders.
Supported in part by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Arts & Science Center Endowment Fund, the Pine Bluff Advertising & Promotion Commission, and Simmons Bank.
