SUMMARY:The Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Explore a remarkable collection of artworks that span the centuries and discover how it was assembled over seven decades. \nThe Solomon Collection: Dürer to Degas and Beyond celebrates a significant recent bequest to the Harvard Art Museums from passionate collectors Arthur K. and Mariot F. Solomon. The exhibition spotlights over 135 works\, including paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, and prints by some of the most significant artists from the Renaissance to the 20th century\, and offers visitors an intimate view into the highly personal yet inherently collaborative nature of art collecting. \nThe artists featured span six centuries and include virtuoso printmakers\, from the pioneers of engraving such as Hans Sebald Beham\, Martin Schongauer\, and Albrecht Dürer to inventive painter-etchers like Salvator Rosa\, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo\, and Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes; provocateurs of 19th-century painting such as Eugène Delacroix\, Théodore Géricault\, Gustave Courbet\, Claude Monet\, Edgar Degas\, and Paul Cézanne; groundbreaking sculptors like Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux\, Henry Moore\, Wilhelm Lehmbruck\, David Smith\, and Anthony Caro; trailblazers of abstraction like Kenneth Noland\, Jules Olitski\, and Larry Poons; and stalwart Boston artists Marjorie Minkin and Peter Lipsitt. \nAn accompanying print catalogue highlights works in the Solomon Collection with entries written by curators\, former and current postdoctoral fellows\, and Harvard faculty and graduate students. The volume also includes a history of the couple’s lifelong engagement with art and the dealers\, professors\, and curators who helped inform their collecting. \n  Save

SUMMARY:4th Friday Art Shows and Opening Reception @ Art Works!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on July 25\, 2025\, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for an exciting opening reception of our new exhibits at Art Works. Meet the talented artists\, and enjoy live music\, refreshments\, and libations sponsored by RVA Thriving Artists. Adam and Anita Bradley present life-size figurative sculptures and paintings capturing a chaotic world. Mike Bily’s exhibit investigates ecosystems; Sharon Denmark captures light flowing through glass. Rachel Rowden exhibit is a portal of mysteries and Rebecca Visger provides a view from behind the wheel. Blake Bottoms exhibit is featured in the Community Bridge Project. \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public. Convenient and free parking is available. The exhibits will continue through August 16\, 2025. \nBradley + Bradley: The Weight of Vanishing Shadows \nAdam and Anita Bradley explore the human condition through their unique mediums. Adam presents life-sized figurative sculptures in wood\, steel\, ceramics\, and smaller bronze pieces\, reflecting themes of anxiety\, loss\, and grief. Anita complements this with layered paintings and mixed media collages\, capturing the struggle for order in a chaotic world. Their intertwined approaches invite contemplation of deep human experiences. \n  \nThe exhibition will be in the Jane Sandelin Gallery at Art Works and will continue through September 20\, 2025. \n  \n  \nAbstract in Nature by Mike Bily \nMike Bily’s exhibit invites you to explore the astonishing ecosystems beneath our feet\, teeming with life as diverse as coral reefs and as complex as any environment on Earth. For billions of years\, natural forces like wind\, heat\, and water have sculpted our world\, creating awe-inspiring landscapes and hidden habitats. As an artist\, Mike Bily’s work leans towards figurative art\, often categorized as abstract realism or impressionism. His spontaneous depiction captures fleeting moments and passing messages for others to witness and enjoy. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Port I Gallery at Art Works through August 16\, 2025. \n  \n  \nFound My Marbles by Sharon Denmark \nSharon Denmark’s art exhibit invites you to experience the meditative process of painting through her eyes. Working with acrylics and oils\, Sharon captures the world’s intricate forms\, from the curl of water to light filtering through glass. Her marble paintings\, inspired by her late mother’s vintage collection\, blend joy and nostalgia. Each piece reflects her deliberate choices in color and form\, encouraging viewers to uncover the layers of story and emotion within her art. \nThe exhibit will be in the Port II Gallery at Art Works through August 16\, 2025. \n  \nIt Is Caring For You by Rachel Rowden \n  \nOriginally from California\, Rachel Rowden has spent most of her adult life as a teacher and clinician. In 2023\, she discovered Nicholas Wilton’s Creative Visionary Program\, which sparked a newfound passion for painting every day. Now residing in central Virginia with an ever-growing menagerie of rescue cats\, Rachel’s artist statement reflects her unique approach to art. She believes that making art does not have to express personal thoughts or feelings; instead\, it serves as a meditation on life and the unending decisions we make subconsciously. For Rachel\, art becomes a portal into the mysteries that surround us\, offering a wonderful gift and an absolute surprise with each creation. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery at Art Works through August 16\, 2025. \nIt’s All Ahead of Us by Rebecca Visger \nRebecca Visger’s exhibit showcases impasto and impressionistic acrylic paintings of road scenes and views from behind the wheel. This series explores the road as a metaphor for the infinite potential and possibilities ahead. The paintings reflect the excitement and fear of new experiences\, symbolizing both independence and the isolation of choosing one’s own path. \n  \nThe exhibit will be in the Corner Gallery at Art Works through August 16\, 2025. \n  \nJuly 2025 All Media Show\n  \nThis exhibit is a focal point of all Art Works’ openings.

Pieces like Nexus\, Entwined\, and Jesus Hands examine intersectionality\, intimacy\, and non-binary identity\, while Metamorphoses and Dionysus celebrate transformation and fluid self-expression.  Through these works\, the artist fosters dialogue on authenticity and introspection. \nThis exhibit is in the upstairs Bridge Project space at Art Works and will continue through August 30\, 2025. \n  Save
