Black & White… in Color by Tom Campbell

Tom Campbell explores form and movement in painting and accomplishes this using only the basics: black and white. Embedding these forms in a sea of color constrains and enhances the movement to complete the picture. This exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery East.

Mirror Mirror: Temperamental Portraits by Cheryl Hadrych

Hadrych explains that everything she does and makes is a self-portrait. Her gestures, handwriting, photography, and paintings are all glimpses into who she is as a woman, and some things can be more revealing than others.

The series of portraits digs deep by way of freer brushstrokes and textures on canvas. It is a beautiful, yet temperamental chapter of Hadrych’s ever-evolving body of work.

The exhibit will be in the Centre Gallery, West.
