Thinking of Summer in Winter closes Fri 7/15 |

On Saturday, June 25 we had a great artist talk with Carlos Santiago, who explained his process for composing a still life. Santiago brought a display of different items he frequently uses in his compositions, from thrift store vases to colorful tape and vintage towels. Fans of his work recognized flowers and objects that have made frequent appearances in his paintings.
We were so happy to reopen the gallery with a room full of Santiago's colorful flowers for his solo show Thinking of Summer in Winter. There's just one more week to see the show, which closes on Friday July 15, so make sure you stop by to see it and our freshly renovated space.

Celebrating Fourth of July this year was especially fraught after the recent Supreme Court rulings on abortion rights, gun control and environmental regulation. These decisions will have a dire impact on the lives of millions of Americans, leaving many in this country feeling scared and angry. Facing this new affront to our civil rights, coupled with the shocking revelations about the prior administration being uncovered on a daily basis, we turn once again to art to help us understand and think critically about the state of our country.
To this end, we thought it important to showcase the work of Adrienne Sloane, who has been working on a new series incorporating puzzle pieces that reflects the uncertainty and absurdity of our current political climate. Culture Wars and United We Stand will be on view at 13FOREST through Saturday July 16. You can read Sloane's statements about these pieces here.
