The Park View Gallery presents Journeys Through Light and Dark, a solo exhibition by printmaker Deborah Schindler. In her prints and drawings, Schindler has created her own universe of animals, landscapes and figures that take on lively curvilinear shapes as they cavort across the paper. She uses pattern in unusual ways to create texture, variety and spatial depth. Her images come from an eclectic array of sources: old master paintings, folk art, dance, theater, sports, popular culture and photographs. 

Park View Gallery Hours: Mondays-Saturdays, 10 am – 6 pm, January 14, 2023 - February 19, 2023 

Opening Reception: Saturday, January 14, 6 – 8 pm

The Stone Tower Gallery presents Within the Wildness, a solo exhibition by sculptor Adam Bradley. Bradley's current body of work deals with the isolation of anxiety and the loneliness of grief.  The characters struggle to maintain identity while trying to find reason in a world that no longer makes sense. Some cling desperately to a thread of self, while others have given in, letting go of logic to cope with a situation they cannot control.  They are at the same time vulnerable and predatory, innocent and savage.  Within the wildness, there is tender fragility, a sliver of hope so delicate it could crumble apart leaving nothing but fear and instinct.

Join us for a virtual artist talk with Khánh H. Lê who will discuss his exhibition at Glen Echo Park, Khánh H. Lê: From Behind There, We Are Now Here. Lê creates mixed-media collages based on deteriorating photographs and collective memories of his personal and familial history as a refugee living in Vietnamese internment camps. Inspired by storytelling, crafting, and myth-making, his mixed-media base is a nod to his immigrant experience.

Inspired by storytelling, crafting, and myth-making, his mixed-media base is a nod to his immigrant experience. Lê’s collage-style of patterning and layering uses craft culture as a metaphor for constructing identity. The exhibition is currently on view in the Stone Tower Gallery from August 5 - October 9, 2022.

The Park View Gallery presents All Natural, featuring the artwork of Caitlin Gill, an emerging mixed media artist. The show explores femininity and its relationship to nature, western culture and women. Women continuously are linked to nature historically and culturally yet are refused the most natural basic animal instincts and acts (territory, aggression, fitness) as these are demarcated as unfeminine, or inherently masculine. This contradiction plagues the artist, and her work attempts to reconcile how to be simultaneously feminine and natural.

On view in the Stone Tower Gallery in June is artist Andy Yoder’s solo exhibition Footwork, featuring his most recent work. According to the artist, “There are scores of solid, practical reasons not to be an artist, but luckily there are also some advantages. Being an artist teaches you to embrace randomness and uncertainty, rather than trying to avoid them. This comes in handy, because no matter how much we try to control and order our lives, the messy, chaotic outside world finds a way to intrude, which is what makes it so interesting.”
