"As the Dust Settles: The Prints of Michael Barnes"

by Michael Barnes

Dempsey Family Gallery

"Last Scrap" Lithograph, 2024.

Opening Reception: Nov 15th, 6-9pm
Exhibition runs: Nov 15th-Dec 7th

The work of Michael Barnes addresses, in part, the destructive nature and absurdities that so readily prevail for humankind as it copes with the perpetual daily routine and environment. Various themes of mortality and the philosophical questions of existence in general thread their way through his series of works. The images are concerned with environment, politics, social decay leaning towards an inward and isolated path, and cynicism about the historical evolution of so-called civilization and its effects upon the world and its inhabitants.

“Liminal Space”

by Carly Palmer

Kane County Magazine Gallery

Opening Reception: Nov 15th, 6-9pm
Exhibition runs: Nov 15th-Dec 7th

“Liminal Space” features a collection of hand-cut paper collages, hard-edge geometric paintings. This body of work evocatively explores the notion of liminal space, and the sense of hovering at the threshold. When crossed, her paper collages personify objects to conjure and convey psychological ideas. Through the use of color, composition, and line in her paintings, she reveals the sharp edge of precision, but leaves the not-so-linear nuanced narrative hidden.
