Ron Ehrlich:
New Work
(Railyard Gallery) | March 19 – April 25
Ron Ehrlich's compositions merge the crackling intensity of American action painting with the meditative calm of traditional Japanese wood-fired ceramics. In addition to exemplifying the generative potential of cultural interchange and media hybridity within the sphere of contemporary artistic practice, Ron Ehrlich's latest works witness the evolution of his highly individualized aesthetics. Deriving increased expressivity from both a sophisticated harmonization of what would first appear to be incongruous, acerbic hues as well as their startlingly energized fields of pigment, the paintings on exhibit in Ron Ehrlich: New Work epitomize the artist's mastery of brutally eloquent coloration and the visual language of rapture.

Howard Daum (1918-1988), Douglas Denniston (1922-95)
Post-Transcendental:
Howard Daum and Douglas Denniston
(Railyard Gallery) | March 12 – May 9
Analogizing Native American aesthetic strategies and internal reforms to 20th century American art, Daum and Denniston are co-presented as exemplars of a parallel impulse in visual culture to demonstrate an important way change within our own art intertwines with information about what lies outside it to generate innovative reform.
