Aliya Linstrum Gallery

April 27 - May 19
"H3," new works by Duy Huynh, Susan Hall & Howard Hersh

Duy Huynh's symbolic and contemplative acrylic paintings reflect the experience of geographic and cultural displacement.

In her latest works Susan Hall is exploring contrasts. This series examines the tension between the need for private reflection and the desire for acceptance and affirmation.

Howard Hersh, from San Francisco, creates mixed-media abstract paintings that he likens to Zen Koans, which are parables and sayings that are pared down to their essence.

June 8 - July 1
From Nature: Gerard Erley, Eleanor Miller

"From Nature" is an exploration of the artist's inspiration derived from nature and the landscape around us. Two artists have been selected who both have found profound inspiration from the natural world, yet the resulting paintings are dramatically different. Gerard Erley's landscapes appear to be realist depictions of rural landscapes in the vein of 19th century greats such as George Inness.

Eleanor Miller produces painting that represent the polar opposite of the optical reality represented in Gerard Erley's work. Growing up in rural Connecticut on a family farm, Ms. Miller developed a direct connection to the land around her. Combining elements of a primordial landscape, the content and colors of Renaissance painting, and a sense of spirituality inherent in both, Miller's paintings evoke more of an inner landscape, one of the heart and the mind.

July 14 - August 4
"Introducing ..." Megan Lightell

For Nashville artist Megan Lightell, painting is a natural response to land. Raised in a rural community, she sought out the fast-paced life of New York but found it lacking in something she could not describe. Returning to the country, she began to relate to the comfort, mystery, and silence embodied in the landscape. She says of her work, "There is an eternity present in the land that was here before we were, and will continue in its cycles long after we are gone. There is almost a necessary spiritual connection that we have with the land that sustains our very lives, and in the increasingly urban lifestyles that many have adopted, that connection becomes faint and distant. My hope is that through painting I can show appreciation for my environment, in all its starkness and softness, warmth and loneliness."

Susie Pryor has been represented by Bennett Street Gallery since its beginning and continues to surprise her clients with new subjects and experimentation with new mediums. For the upcoming show, she explore the properties of wax and how that affects her palette knife work.

Kenson: Rituals

Kenson has been represented by Bennett Street Gallery for several years and continues to change and grow as an artist all while experimenting with new subjects and broadening the mediums she uses. For the upcoming show, Kenson has taken much from her recent life experiences, all of which are revealed on her emotive canvases. Working in mostly mixed media, Kenson marks on her canvas deliberately yet spontaneously. She puts her entire body and soul into each piece, evidenced through the care taken to perfect each painting by marking out what she does not wish to appear and highlighting that that she does. Words, symbols, shapes, and lines converge on her canvases to create paintings that are alive with vivid color and evocative emotion.

Jackson Fine Art

Larry Sultan, The Valley
Mitch Epstein, Recreation
May 19 - July 1


The America photographer Mitch Epstein presents in his series Recreation is equally foreign and familiar. Taken from 1973 to 1988 on several different traveling expeditions across the United States in order to capture American forms of leisure, Epstein's photographs arouse both a sense of nostalgia and tenderness, not unlike how one often feels when looking through old family photo albums.


Alongside Mitch Epstein, Jackson Fine Art is delighted to exhibit a selection of work from photographer Larry Sultan's series The Valley. Sultan reveals the side of the adult film industry to which one is rarely exposed, that which happens between takes and beyond the scope of the movie camera. These large-scale photographs were taken in San Fernando Valley, where Sultan grew up, in houses rented out by their owners to companies who make porno movies. Amazingly, The Valley is not about sex, but simply has sex in it.

Annual Summer Show of New Talent

Julia Klimova is a Russian-born impressionist who employs a bold use of layered color using a palette knife and creating rich landscapes, figurative work and still lifes.

Shahla Moghaddam was born and raised in Tehran and currently resides in Atlanta. Her years of experience enhance her eye for detail and color. Dramatic brush strokes and unique compositions create her personal analysis of landscapes, forms and figures.

Wendeline Matson paints in acrylic on canvas. She uses bold color and skewed naïve perspectives that exhibit an experienced eye and subtle sophistication in simple compositions.

The Lowe Gallery

April 14 - May 19
THE LOWE GALLERY ATLANTA PROUDLY PRESENTS
WORLD CLASS SCULPTOR & PAINTER LEIKO IKEMURA
IN HER FIRST MAJOR AMERICAN EXHIBITION

Also featuring John Martini & Ethel Lebenkoff

Leiko Ikemura is both an accomplished painter and sculptor who has attained international recognition for her hauntingly poignant works of art. Her hazy translucent paintings are a direct complement to her emotive crudely modeled sculptures in ceramic and bronze. In both visual interpretations the subjects are the same - delicate metaphorical figures in the form of little girls or small anthropomorphic creatures. The forms serve to blur boundaries and tighten the gap between differing states of consciousness. Ultimately, Ikemura is on a quest for resolution.


July 14 - September 15
IN CELEBRATION OF ITS 17TH ANNIVERSARY,
THE LOWE GALLERY ATLANTA PROUDLY PRESENTS THE DRAMATIC WORKS OF
AMERICAN GLASSMAKER DALE CHIHULY IN A SPECIAL SOLO EXHIBITION

Dale Chihuly is known for revolutionizing the Studio Glass movement, working in teams to develop highly complex, multipart pieces of work. Chihuly has created many well-known series of works, among them the Baskets, Persians and Seaforms, but he is also celebrated for large architectural installations.
