Gail Wagner and Guests     Spinoffs

Spinoffs is an exhibition of art influenced by textiles. From French tapestries to Japanese Ikat, Blackwork embroidery to Italian damask, Chinese grass-cloth to Ukrainian folk fabric, fiber from around the world serves as muse, sometimes with a shout and sometimes with a whisper. Paintings, digital art, and pyrography reference our collective consciousness of textile history in visual form. An appreciation of fiber and its offshoots unite the works in this eclectic showcase of styles.

Jennifer Pettus     S{t}imulation

The work in S{t}imulation continues my exploration of labor, function, and materiality in an increasingly disconnected and overwhelming world. The rapid proliferation of AI shortcuts, where there is no manual skill required, is disheartening – and means putting hands to material is even more vital to my process. Whether it is a pen, a paintbrush, or a needle and thread, I am marking my journey, with all its human imperfections. I embellish non-traditional materials with riotous texture and color to challenge institutionalized art practices, but also to invite reflection on the ways we are literally losing touch with our environments.

Mala Setaram-Wolfe     deja vu

Mixed media artist Mala Setaram-Wolfe explores the concept of episodic memory and the repetition of historical events.

Setaram-Wolfe primarily uses installation art as her chosen form of visual communication but her recent work experiments with the use of cyanotypes and enameled copper sculptures, which are the media used in this exhibition’s body of work.

Here she shapes copper and incorporates enameled graphite to create vignettes of memories of Colorado’s charred forests lost to wildfires.

Katherine Johnson     Letting Go

I have been inspired by John Prendergast who teaches “ the experience of the moment” and “being instead of thinking” and Deb Dana who suggests that “who you are and what you are” are directed by the autonomic nervous system rather the brain.  These teachers have led me to a new view of life.  My art is approached by the inspiration of the moment, where the painting seems to be taking me.  When It’s clear that what I’m doing does not feel right, it’s time to let go and find out what is.  When I begin with a certain plan in mind, and suddenly feel that it’s finished, it’s best to stop there. This way of work seems freeing and depending on intuition.  It feels like it can be believed in.

Faith Williams Dyrsten      Uncontained: Beyond the Package

Faith Williams Dyrsten’s ongoing TetraPak series celebrates the often-overlooked role of pollinators behind the labels of our food packaging. Inspired by a trip to Costa Rica where she observed cacao, mango, coconut, and other fruits growing in their tropical environments — her artwork explores the complex journey that brings food to our tables.

John Horner      Abstract Bas Relief: Farther Tangents

New work by JOHN  HORNER–an ongoing exploration of the possibilities of mixed-media and bas-relief in an abstract approach.

Stephen Shugart  Fragile States

Multimedia artist Stephen Shugart navigates complex emotional states amid our current era of AI, political instability, and economic and environmental uncertainty in his new exhibition, Fragile States.

The exhibition features abstract sculpture and painting that continue Shugart’s ongoing investigation of the tensions between nature, society, and technology, and between organic and geometric form. Working with found and industrial materials, colored light, and projected and AI-generated video, Shugart builds forms that feel both improvised and precarious.

Tissue paper stretched over wire armatures forms fragile, skin-like membranes across the abstract sculptures, while weathered wooden forms balance precariously on stone and steel. Together, the works underscore both Shugart’s own sense of fragility and a broader, universal one — the feeling of instability that defines the present moment.

Mark Brasuell   Pank

Artist Mark Brasuell presents PANK, a new exhibition of paintings opening October 2 at EDGE Gallery in Lakewood.

The title PANK comes from Brasuell’s playful Southern reworking of the word “pink,” but it also carries another idea: reaching the pinnacle of something—pushing an idea, a color, or a painting as far as it can go. PANK becomes its own word and its own attitude. It also plays off the old expression “in the pink,” meaning to be in excellent condition, at your best, or thriving. That feels particularly fitting for a body of work that Brasuell sees as hitting a new high point in his painting.

The paintings are bright, colorful, layered, and unapologetically physical. Some contain suggestions of the figure, but the figure is never really the point. Instead, the work is about texture, buildup, repetition, and things and things and things—marks, colors, shapes, lines, and surfaces accumulating until they become something unexpected.

Some paintings are surprisingly subtle, allowing small bursts of intense color to emerge from quieter passages. Others simply slap you in the face. Still others operate almost as color studies, exploring how one color can support, fight with, bury, or completely transform another.

Brasuell has been developing this body of work and its ideas for many years.

“I really feel like I’m hitting a groove with this show. I’ve been working with these ideas for a long time, but something has clicked. I’m interested in how much can happen on a surface—how things can build up, disappear, come back, get covered and then suddenly explode with color. Some of these paintings whisper. Some of them yell.”
