News & Events
The following is the gallery's current or immediately
forthcoming exhibition. For more current news and updates
about what's going on in the gallery this week, check out
the Nevin Kelly Gallery Blog at
nevinkellygallery.blogspot.com
Following its grand
opening exhibition entitled "Color + Mood"
in June 2003, an exhibition that featured works
by Polish artists Krzysztof Kokoryn, Mikolaj
Kasprzyk, Lukasz Huculak, Stasys Eidrigevicius,
Tomasz Karabowicz and Darek Pala, the Nevin
Kelly Gallery
hosted these exhibitions
from 2003 through 2007, continuing in
2007 with:
DOUBLE
VISION: The Photographic Work of Yanina Manolova
and Mark Parascandola
WOMEN’S WORK: Five
Distinct Points of view from Young
Female Artists, featuring the
work of Molly Brose, Mary Chiaramonte,
Jenny Davis, Laurel Hausler and Abbe
Mcgray
Color: Field Tests -
New Work by Sondra N. Arkin
Working in encaustic and mixed media
assemblage, Arkin explores the role that
combinations of color play in
communicating a sense of energy, mood
and depth. Her
examination of color's influence will not end with her efforts
in the
studio: she will select colors for
several of the gallery's walls, against which she will
hang works of similar size, composition
and palette. These works will combine to
form a larger installation that will
field test the ways in which individual
works affect—and are affected by—the
environment in
which they are placed.

Time of War: New Prints by Ellyn Weiss
Noted local
printmaker and painter,
Ellyn Weiss, unveils a series of 14"
x 14" monoprints made last summer at the Fine Arts Work
Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts on a press that was
once used by Robert Motherwell. The artist describes them as
"meditations on the pain of war, as simple and universal as
I can make them - my effort to convey feeling directly with
a minimum of complexity."
Murmur: A Series of
New Paintings by Mary Chiaramonte
Local
painter, Mary Chiaramonte, unveils a new series of paintings
called “Murmur”. The paintings show the struggle to
“overcome life’s difficulties and limitations using the
image of individual attempts to escape from a box.” Each
painting tells a different story.
Peer Pressure: Guest
Curated by Thom Flynn Featuring the Work of Sue Huang,
Carrie Mallory, Baby Martinez, and Pascual Sisto
Local
artist and guest curator Thom Flynn has assembled a group of
his peers to size-up contemporary trends in art. The exhibit
will feature artists Sue Huang (LA), Carrie Mallory (DC),
Baby Martinez (DC) and Pascual Sisto (LA). Flynn chose the
title
“Peer Pressure” to demonstrate the positive potential
of a concept that is generally perceived as negative.

New paintings by award
winning Polish artist Michal Zaborowski

An Ideal
Mix-Up: A Winter Group Exhibition
A group exhibition that
includes works by the contemporary
Polish artists that helped launch the
gallery in May 2003 and the many local
artists who have joined the gallery
along the way. The exhibition celebrates
both the gallery’s origins and its
development as a platform for showcasing
emerging trends in local art. Unlike
most group shows, which remain static
during their entire run, works in this
show will be hung and re-hung in stages
as works are sold or anchor pieces are
moved to share the spotlight. The
exhibition will feature works by local
artists
Sondra Arkin,
Joan Belmar,
Ellyn Weiss,
Mary Chiaramonte
and Laurel Hauler and by Polish artists
Edward Dwurnik,
Darek Pala,
Krzysztof Kokoryn,
Pawel Król,
Lukasz Huculak
and Michal Zaborowski.
