GALLERY WALK OPENING NIGHT PARTY | JAN FREEMAN LONG
Join us for the Opening Night Party with the artist Jan Freeman Long on FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14th 5:00-7:30pm Hemmings Gallery is pleased to present MEETING GROUND a solo exhibition by Jan Freeman Long featuring both larger works on canvas from her Cross Section & Vessel series and smaller framed collage pieces from her Signpost series. Throughout her work, Long’s artistic pursuit remains the same: “I am interested in the mysterious nature of what endures, both within an internal landscape and what surrounds us in the natural world. I am interested in visual relationships that express what I don’t have the words for– a territory that is enigmatic, open for exploration– that is my form of visual poetry.” As a student of painting at the California College of the Arts (CCA), Long was quickly attracted to working with abstraction. It offered her an open-ended vocabulary with which to look beyond the obvious and enter a realm of the unknown. During her final semester at CCA in Florence, Italy at Studio Art Centers International, a new fascination for the beauty and longevity of ancient buildings and artifacts emerged. In her studio today, Long is guided by the intuition and wisdom she gleans …

OPENING NIGHT PARTY- Around the Bend by LOLA
Join us for the Opening Night Party with the artist FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12/27 5:00-7:30pm. It’s the local gallery walk night and ’tis the season to celebrate! We’re wrapping up this year with a stunning new show–AROUND THE BEND by Lola. Each work features Lola’s mastery of the poured resin technique and the alluring quality of this uniquely modern material. For over a decade, Lola has been working with tinted resin in her Bay-area studio. Each piece consists of layered geometric shapes with an emphasis on color & tone– all on her signature drip-edged panels. It’s high-gloss and hard-to-resist. For Lola, “I’m always dreaming about what’s next. What will excite and inspire others. As I pour the resin, a form begins to appear on the surface. The challenge is leaving the emotional tone of the piece undefined allowing the viewer to find their own meaning in the work.”

Stargazing – Paintings by Kelly Ording
The paintings in this series are inspired by Kelly Ording’s practice of sungazing, a meditative ritual that that involves standing outside and gazing toward the sun to absorb its radiant energy. For Ording, the slow and methodical process of painting becomes an extension of this meditative ritual. Through rhythmic lines and geometric motifs, Ording’s luminous works evoke a sense of transcendence and invite viewers to connect with the natural rhythms of the world. Each line marks a fleeting moment and the passage of time, echoing the pulse of the universe and the cycles of the sun.
Nick Brandt – The Echo of Our Voices
Gilman Contemporary presents THE ECHO OF OUR VOICES, acclaimed photographer Nick Brandt’s poignant visual narrative showing the impact of water scarcity on a group of Syrian refugees, mostly families, in southern Jordan. Brandt’s portrayal is both respectful and tender, as he captures the resilience of the human spirit and the stabilizing effects of human connection in the face of adversity. Jordan is considered the second most water-scarce country in the world. The Syrian refugees depicted in these photographs were forced to flee Syria due to war. Now in Jordan they are forced to relocate multiple times a year in constant search of adequate rainfall for growing crops. Families are perched on stacks of boxes that aim skyward, implying a sense of strength and defiance. They also serve as pedestals for the individuals who typically go unseen and unnoticed. No longer able to avert our gaze, we are invited to look into the eyes of these courageous individuals and hear the soft echo of their voices.

Each photograph not only commemorates an installation but also celebrates the lightness and brightness of the unexpected.
