Managing the Darkness Continues this Week!

HEDGE Gallery | Suite 200

Managing the Darkness juxtaposes Raffel’s light boxes, tessellations, and found object sculptures with the latest oil and latex paintings by Hilary Gent. Together, these works delve into the conceptual interplay of light as it permeates through darkness.



Both artists seize the chance to confront the shadows of the current era with radiant light, painted and reflected. This is a “must see in person show” so don’t miss it! On view through July 25.

Orvieto, Italy, 1970

Mark Krieger Studio | Suite 219

Throwback photo. This would be me in the second of my three years spent painting in Italy which, taken together, were absolutely crucial to my development as an artist. I still dream of Italy and the spirit of Italian painting animates my big abstractions on display at the studios. I began a new painting this July 8, and every time I start one, hope I can make it good enough to hang with the Italian masters. That young man in the photo would say there is no harm in trying.
