SWEET WITH ROT paintings by Brennan Emmett Cox Serving as a visual erasure of modern advertisements, Brennan Emmett Cox's work examines the superficiality of consumerism. His subjects burst and blot under the eroding forces of water and turpentine, and what was once the image of a person becomes a sensuous collection of lines and limbs stripped of identity. With varying painting techniques and materials, Cox's work plays with dimensionality and language, imbuing his figurative abstractions with absurd poetry.  COTERIE a group exhibition from Passageways Artists' Studios – Marie Crow, Ric Garcia, Debbie Hoeper, Marla McLean, Delia Mychajluk, Artemis O'Connor, Stephanie O'Grady, Ronnie Spiewak, and George Tuggle Passageways Artists' Studios provide a congenial working environment and an opportunity to interact, collaborate, exhibit with, and learn from colleagues. The studio is an eclectic group working in painting, drawing, printmaking, mixed media, collage, sculpture, tapestry, quilting, and fiber arts.

VIEWFINDERS (in the Main Gallery, featuring:) Tim McLoraine, Roz Racanello, Robin Schaefer STRAIGHT SHOOTERS (in the Corridor Gallery, featuring:) Linda Hosek, John Valceanu In VIEWFINDERS, artists Tim McLoraine, Roz Racanello, and Robin Schaefer use the photograph and photographic image as the basis for the artwork displayed. The end result is a variety of mixed media pieces with hand applications such as paint, pastel, and encasutic.  In STRAIGHT SHOOTERS, photographers Linda Hosek and John Valceanu do their drawing within the boundaries of the camera and computer. The end result is a variety of formal shots of street scenes, color blocking, and cropped abstractions.  VIEWFINDERS and STRAIGHT SHOOTERS together create a compelling dialogue for the viewer to explore the many possibilities of photography and the photographic process. |

LADIES SIN GENTLEMEN Juliana Vallejo “She fell into a dream, twenty years into the past, into the face that was not hers for so many years, into the face that vanished when death arrived She woke up to a mix of unfamiliar faces resembling the one that was never there. Now she stands up twisted looking at herself, in her so many forms.” — Juliana Vallejo  Juliana Vallejo is a Colombian artist residing in the Washington Metropolitan Area. She received her B.A. in Studio Art from the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia; where she was the recipient of the Undergraduate Research Grant Founding for her research in painting: Abstract Experiment. She is a process-focused artist, the interaction between her with medium and surface plays an essential role in her art making. Juliana's approach to art has been a constant self-exploration that translates into explosions of paint that create deconstructed forms. Her main focus of work has been painting and drawing, although she is continually experimenting with new media that allow her to develop her own language and convey her buried thoughts.  |

Joanna Campbell Blake: STUDIO VIEW an intimate glimpse into the working process of monument sculptor, Joanna Campbell Blake (1977-2016) The exhibition Joanna Campbell Blake: STUDIO VIEW was conceived as a way to acknowledge the first year anniversary of Joanna's death. Joanna died on May 22, 2016, on her 39th birthday. The exhibition includes art and artifacts from Joanna's studio including photographs, maquettes, video, and her reference library.  Joanna was a resident of Cottage City, Maryland and a native of Mobile, Alabama, with a studio in Brentwood, Maryland. An acclaimed sculptor, Joanna was a graduate of Theodore High School and Auburn University. Joanna was a key contributor to The National WWII Memorial. Other works included "Undaunted in Battle" a memorial for a battle from the War of 1812, bas-relief panels honoring slaves at the Alexandria Contrabands and Freedmen Cemetery in Virginia, and many more. She was a rare talent with a beautiful and generous spirit. Joanna also volunteered on the 39th Street Gallery's artist advisory group, a group of artists from the region that were a resource for the gallery in its early years, helping to shape the focus and programming at the gallery and instill our mission as a resource for artists.  Photographs from the exhibition will be on sale with all profits going to fund the Joanna Campbell Blake Stewardship Collection and the Joanna Campbell Blake Memorial Scholarship fund at Auburn University.  The gallery would like to thank Margaret Boozer and J.J. McCracken for co-curating the exhibition with special thanks to Ike Blake, Pete Duvall, and Frank Tybush for their contributions. |
