Leen Katrib | Reparations: The Other Mies Archive | February 9 - March 29 This ongoing subversive archival project re-examines the history of modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s design for the Illinois Institute of Technology’s postwar campus expansion, which led to the strategic erasure of a primarily Black neighborhood in Chicago’s South Side. Conceived as an archival apparatus, the installation deconstructs the official campus history and complicates the architect’s legacy, which rarely diverges from a discussion about form and architectural ideology, by inviting visitors to peek into the material record that was necessarily suppressed to create the myth of a tabula rasa created by an architect intent on creating an “apolitical” architecture in the name of progress.

John D’Orazio | Prismatic | February 9 - April 5 Each of the paintings in the Prismatic series is intended to highlight the physical beauty that results when a prism refracts light into the visible color spectrum. I’ve tried to combine the beauty of a rainbow, which has long been a symbol of hope, with the ordered accuracy of mathematics. Just as rainbows appear in the sky after violent weather, these canvases can remind us that hope and optimism exist even amidst life's storms. Within each of us lies the ability to paint our own prisms of resilience, joy, and hope.

Claire Thompson | Everything You've Ever Dreamed of and More |
February 9 - March 29 Everything You've Ever Dreamed of and More is a show about true love. It's a show about slaying a dragon. It's a show about growing up. It's a show about extra ranch on the side. It's a show about humiliation. It's a show about hellfire. It’s a show about paradise. It's a show about you. It's a show about everything you could ever even dream of. And even more. Visit Claire's website, ClaireThompsonArt.com. |
Bobbi Stout | A Cast of Colors | February 9 - April 5 Surrounded by the difficulties and complexities of modern life, Lexington artist Bobbi Stout chose to step back from seriousness for a while to create this playful, imaginative collection. Populated by clear, bright colors and whimsical characters, this group of images is intended to be humorous, joyful and poignant. While a few of the paintings were consciously planned, most of them were more spontaneous, coming fresh from the artist’s thoughts to the canvas. The use of colorful and cartoon-like images creates a simple, two-dimensional world where feelings are clear and transparent, and everything is readily visible. It is the artist’s hope that those viewing her work will have as much fun looking at the art as she did in creating it.

Lexington Senior Center | The Bell House Painters | February 9 - March 29
Paintings displayed in this exhibition are from a senior citizens’ class held weekly at the Bell House in Lexington. They represent all levels of experience in either acrylics or oils. Part of the pleasure of painting is an opportunity to exhibit one’s work and we appreciate the chance to have this gently juried showing sponsored by the Lexington Art League. The Bell House is a satellite center of the Lexington Senior Center. It is free and open to independent Fayette County residents 60 years and older.

The Lexington Art League Members’ Biennial is a biennial exhibition of art that has been created by our members. Every two years we take the opportunity to highlight our creative and talented members with an exhibition which takes over all of the exhibition space in the historic Loudoun House. The League was founded in 1957 as a member-driven organization and we are continuing this tradition 65 years later. The goal is to stuff the galleries to the gunwales with art in a celebration of our creative members.

From the earliest known forms of human creativity and expression, such as paintings on cave walls, tribal dance and aboriginal music played around the fire, to expansive museums in large cities, modern dance and sold out stadium concerts, one constant has always remained true. Human beings have always found creativity and expression to be central to our very existence.
