GALLERY EXHIBITIONS

 

lindsayLindsay Gallery
Lindsay Gallery will have two longtime gallery artists come together for a show of new work for the July Hop. Morris Jackson’s detailed drawings with microscopic patterns share obsessive yet humanistic qualities with Amber Groome’s lovingly constructed doll and skull sculptures. This year, Jackson was honored with the Ohio Art Council’s Individual Excellence Award, and Groome’s work was featured in the 2015 New York Outsider Art Fair.

 

 

hiltonHilton Columbus Downtown
In partnership with Muse Gallery, the Hilton Columbus Downtown will feature artist Sare. There will be an opening reception on Friday, July 10 from 6:00-8:00pm. Sare, originally from Eastern Europe, is a French National who divides her time between Columbus, Ohio and Paris, France. Her work is done in the style of Dutch and Flemish painters, and refers to the style of the Grotesques. Sare, however, considers herself an observer of everyday life, and although the features and surroundings are exaggerated and warped, a whimsical overtone exists — a humorous view of the every day.
