Worlds Apart is a group show by Hernan Murno, Amy Sabrin, Michelle Simoneau and Rosa Vera. These four artists create diverse abstract and semi-representational work springing from the same impulse: the landscape, whether the natural or built environment. Each takes a dramatically different approach to extracting and abstracting the essence of a landscape, but all hope to provoke an emotional response in the viewer.

Karen Commings’ and R. Andrew Hoff’s joint exhibition, Carnival Nights, is a photographic montage featuring edgy, moody, somber or surreal images of county fairs and community festivals in four states taken over the course of three years. Hoff and Commings state, “The facial expressions, postures and attitudes show the tedium of carnival life as the evening lingers on. There are multiple stories in these images left to the imagination.”

In Observation – Light, Susan Iverson’s tapestries attempt to capture the strong emotions connected to fleeting moments of ocular pleasure. She is attracted to the transitory nature of atmospheric color, especially at dawn and dusk, when magical moments of intense color are experienced and remembered, but seldom in their fullness.

During the July-August show, an exhibit of fine art produced by members of the gallery will also be on display, illustrating the range and diversity of Artspace’s artist membership.

Exhibition Dates: July 22 – August 20, 2022
