During the October Gallery Hop, Brandt-Roberts Galleries will feature “Under Construction” by Terry Rodgers.

His large-scale paintings are a compression and dissection of peoples’ rampant imaginations and mediated influences. But Terry goes beyond the representational, working in a variety of other media from exuberant and visceral sculptures in bronze, to playful mixed media sculpture, to his gestural drawings and small paintings, to inventive constructed archival prints, and more.
Brandt-Roberts Galleries’ September Gallery Hop hours are from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
