It is human nature to respond to Rhythm. The visual artists in our fall “Got Rhythm” exhibition respond to music in the language of lines, shapes and colors. When music pulses through their veins, they channel their emotional responses through mark-making: gestural lines and strokes vibrate like sound waves. They respond in their own unique way to rhythm and music: to the beat of their own drum. Artforms include paintings, photographs, and mixed-media approaches.
Artists: David Alton, Ashley Alvarado, Nancy Behles, Alan Brunettin, Sheila Cahnman, Susan Chelminski, Rich Conti, Anna Marie Crovetti, Catherine Daniels, Melissa D’Souza, Shelley Gilchrist, Steven Guenther, Ivan Gutierrez, Peter Jablokow, Bonnie Katz, Jacqueline Kott-Wolle, Ari Koultourides, Diana Leviton Gondek, Victoria Loeb, Deborah Newmark, Sam Onche, Jim Parks, Patrick Perry, Patti Ray, Renee Robbins, Virginia Roeder, Margarete de Soleil, Josefien Stopplenburg, Frank Styburski, Joseph Taylor, Sally Wille and Colette Wright Adams.

The paintings in the Elemental Exhibition are made by artists who respond deeply to forces of nature. Immerse yourself in their interpretations of the elements. Reflect on water in its various transformations, as it melts down from ice and snow. The theme focuses on dualities: fire and ice; water and earth. The artists’ resilience during the winter months is evident in their work: they buckle down and push paint around. Some of them they load it up and apply it in a thick impasto, painting fiery scenes. Others work more methodically with transparent glazes, creating surreal allegorical figures who make us question reality. Regardless of their approach, they are committed to the medium of painting, making their magic with its alchemical qualities.
Artists: Jennifer Cronin, James Deeb, Marjorie Davidson, John Fleck, Nicole Gordon, Ellen Holzblatt, Lynne Miller-Jones, Fran Joy, Sarah Kaiser-Amaral, Louise LeBourgeois, Randall Mattheis, Jennifer Presant, Eleanor Speiss-Ferris, and Nina Weiss

Opening Reception:
Saturday, March 1st, 2025 from 5 to 8 PM
The “Radiance: Works About Light” Exhibition at the Grove Gallery in Evanston, IL features luminous paintings and drawings made by Midwestern Artists. See artists’ responses to light in various forms: refraction, lasers, nocturnes and the inner light of powerful female figures. The works vary from surreal, imaginative figures to abstract fields of color. Experience sensations of warmth, frigid temperatures, subtlety and expressive qualities in the work. The exhibition was juried by Sergio Gomez, artist and curator of the 33 Contemporary Gallery. He selected 20 paintings from the 250 that were submitted. The selected works vary in media: abstract oils, translucent watercolors, and shiny collage materials. Celebrate that the days are getting longer as we inch towards Springtime. Without light there is no form.

The “Inside/Out” Exhibition at the Grove Gallery in Evanston, IL explores concepts of the window as metaphor. Windows, whether open or closed, represent dualities: freedom vs. constraint, order vs. chaos, and possibility vs. limitation. The window metaphor sets up narrative elements that address boundaries. In some cases, the viewer is outside, looking in. Conversely, the perspective may be from indoors, looking up and out into the horizon. Some paintings are rooted in fantasy, with colorful, surreal characters freely floating in space. Others are purely depictions of light-filled rooms, with curtains billowing in the breeze. The layered meanings within each picture plane keeps viewers guessing, projecting their own narratives onto each scene. A picture window creates the illusion of depth, whether with pure color or with linear perspective. Regardless of each artist’s technique and intention, the window metaphor is open to interpretation.
Artists: Nicole Gordon, David Gista, Leslie Hirshfield, Fletcher Hays, Ellen Holtzblatt, Jennifer Presant, Sarah Kaiser-Amaral, Eleanor Speiss-Ferris, Ken Minami, and Caitlin Winner.

The focus of the Portraits With Impact Exhibition is on original paintings which reflect diverse range of personalities. The portrait genre enables artists to create work that resonates on a visual and emotional level, and ultimately invites reflection, sparks dialogue, and fosters a deeper connection. See unique paintings by local artists of historically-relevant individuals: Maya Angelou, James Baldwin, Malala, and more. The individual sitters’ personalities are communicated through visual elements such as symbolic color, patterns, abstract shapes and brush strokes. Such design elements have the power to evoke moods that words often cannot express. The portraits, juror Joanna Pinsky, convey emotional responses and disrupt conventions. The result is an impressive exhibition of thought-provoking work.
Artists: Melissa Arostegui, Pochis Bank, Andrea Beilke, Nancy Behles, Helena Celewicz, Tony Collias, Shirley Yang Crutchfield, Zarina Natividad Docken, Chris Froeter, Isaac Galvan, David Gista, Alan Hobscheid, Juana Fernandez-Hamer, Fran Joy, Randall Mattheis, Daniel Nolan, Sam Onche, Patty Ray, Bruno Surdo, John Wang’endo, Allison Winstanley, and Jim Yale.

Reflect upon the abstract shapes of color and light that shimmer on the surface. Artists in this exhibition blur the lines between representational and abstract approaches. They are open to seeing beyond the horizon, and are keenly aware of subtle shifts in color temperature, mood and atmosphere. Like the weather, the work conveys a variety of moods, which ranges from tranquil and calm to stormy. This exhibition addresses the fragile relationship humans have with water, our most precious natural resource. Forty percent of all revenue from sales will be donated to the Alliance for the Great Lakes.

As a result, this compelling exhibition is comprised of oil, pastel and watercolor paintings with evidence of brush strokes, texture, and bold, Expressionistic colors. All of the artists in this exhibition employ color as an evocative tool that conveys the essence of a place, whether real or imagined. They have painted their authentic emotional responses to nature.

The main focus of the Food For Thought Exhibition is to heighten awareness of food insecurity. At least half of all proceeds will go directly to the C and W Foundation, an Evanston-based nonprofit that provides essential access to groceries. The still life genre illustrates portraits of edible subjects that tell stories of meals shared, community, and breaking bread together. This communal ritual is celebrated in paintings of food made from direct observation, which reveal tangible, poetic symphonies of color, shape and texture.
Artists: Sheila Cahnman, John Fleck, Ken Minami, Sarah Kaiser-Amaral, David Roberts and Chunbo Zhang.

Triptych: Kate Berry-Brown, Vanessa Filley, and Darren Oberto
The points of convergence between the work of Berry-Brown, Filley and Oberto are a place of mystery that demands inquiry and invites contemplation. With practices as disparate as figurative photography, pencil based portraits and works of oil on canvas these three artists come from varied approaches, but continual probing investigation and a turn towards the abstract links their work together. Through a wide-range of subject matter as disparate as motherhood and the weight of belonging, relationship to place and environment, the cosmos, historical allusions and conversations with artists across time these artists navigate through life with the necessity to make. Each of them mulls what it is to exist in the here and now and how one might grapple with the complexity of being, often finding synthesis and answers in geometric abstraction. There is a profound interest in mark making, foundational craft-based skills, and acts of repetition that show up in the practices of all three, as well as a willingness and curiosity to experiment with materials and explore what medium might best support or express an idea. For these artists, each endeavor influences the direction of future projects, prompting subtle course corrections toward new horizons.

The artists in the Horizons Exhibition capture the essence of water by reflecting upon abstract shapes of color and light that shimmer on the surface. They are keenly aware of subtle shifts in temperature, mood and atmosphere. They blur the lines between representation and abstraction. See beyond the horizon through their eyes.
This exhibition addresses the fragile relationship humans have with water, our most precious natural resource. Twenty percent of all revenue from sales will be donated to the Alliance for the Great Lakes.
Artists: Anna Marie Crovetti, Mark Collins, Catherine Daniels, Cindy Fuller, Ted Glasoe, Louise LeBourgeois, Lynne Miller Jones, Eleanor Speiss-Ferris, Ellen Starr Lyon, and Nina Weiss.
