MAY EXHIBITIONS
OPENS THU MAY 7, 6-8PM - ON VIEW MAY 7-28
Christie Fifer’s paintings and sculptures revolve around books - their
history & their contents - all woven together with puns, puzzles, and
didactic intent to both amuse and encourage conversation. Still life
paintings of precariously stacked first editions are simultaneously realistic
and surreal, prompting extended investigation. Leaping from
the canvas, Fifer’s sculptures utilize actual books suffering from wear
or neglect that have been repurposed to create playful and thoughtful
sculptures in search of their own Renaissance.

CAITLIN ALBRITTON
BEACH BODIES
XOJ GALLERY
Culled from her ongoing Gym Series, Albritton’s colorful, awkward,
and very funny paintings ultimately offer a profound commentary
on the lengths people will go to in search of the perfect body.
JILL CALDWELL
COLOR CONVERSATIONS
ZABAR PROJECT GALLERY
Caldwell’s mixed media paintings capture the exuberance
of an island bursting with color: the endless
shades of foliage, the magnificent variety of flowers,
the aqua-teal-turquoise water, and the billowing
sunsets shifting from peach-pink to the blue-purple
indigo of nightfall.
