Sean Christopher Gallery Ohio | 815 N. High St. Ste. H

This exhibition is a collection of works by emerging, midwestern artists Baylee Schmitt, Jess Schwarz, Leela Waters, and River Berry. ‭S‭ofter‬‬ presents a variety of works in multiple mediums including crochet, weaving, latex, quilting, and ceramics that investigate the intimacy of material, space, and memory. ‭Th‬ese delicate works take nostalgic aesthetics of childhood whimsy turning them into plush abstractions of memory and experience. Each artist grapples with their personal reality through highly process-based work and installation, often subverting traditional crafts techniques to express these narratives.

Sean Christopher Gallery Ohio’s June Gallery Hop hours are 4-9 p.m.

Sharon Weiss Gallery | 20 E Lincoln St.

“Drawn and Quartered” is the second solo exhibit of Michael J. Rosen’s collages at Sharon Weiss Gallery. Uniquely, his works are all created from his own paintings and drawings, chopped and puzzled into compositions that invited the viewer into realms their memories and imaginations can inhabit. Rather than clipping magazines or other artifacts, rather than executing his collages based on a still life or an existing scene, Rosen ventures into the realm of play: creativity at its purest and least encumbered. His collages suggest that we can find ourselves, reflected in the familiar objects we have gathered. Rosen has spent some forty years in the Central Ohio—and national—arts scene, in the realms of literature, illustration, ceramics, painting, printmaking, and collage. He spent twenty years as the founding literary director of the Thurber House, and has published some 150 books for readers of all ages. For more information, www.michaeljrosen.com.
