Follow the Threads: Colette Stuebe Bangert
Colette Stuebe Bangert’s work is intricately constructed and detailed, both homey and exotic.
Time Compression: Dana Hangauer
Dana Hangauer’s use of color and texture are strong throughout her first solo show. The hues are bright when they need to be and muted when they need to be, suggesting the passage of time and the effects of weathering on “older” layers.
The Cocoon Opens: Eugenia Ortiz
Eugenia Ortiz’s fiber sculpture installation serves as a visual reminder that while Nature has a fairly strict regimen for its emergences, the human growth experience is not always a smooth, uniform transition from dark to light, smaller to greater and closed to open.
Cutting Paper: Dave Loewenstein
There are no shades of gray in Dave Loewenstein’s tableaus, no third dimension to the characters in his works. There is only stark, clearly delineated black and white, heavy on visual metaphor.
Curve, Light and Shadow: Beth Cosner
Beth Cosner loads her jewelry with so much color, texture and creative structure that it grabs the attention (in a good way) from the first look, and then rewards repeated viewings.
To the Mountaintop: Michael Krueger
Michael Krueger’s colorful works manage to be both surreal and perfectly sensible. Whoever or whatever one finds in his high places, it is for a good reason and a (pardon the pun) higher purpose.
Shiver (or Shudder) with Antici …: Andrew Jilka
Andrew Jilka’s work plays on various notions of anticipation, ecstacy and exploitation, often blurring the lines between the sublime and the decidedly not-so.
Primary Seasoning: Jeff Immer
Jeff Immer’s graphic works are color and shape-intensive, cool in design and tone but bright in hue.
Pictures from Camp: Roger Shimomura
The prints and paintings in Roger Shimomura’s “Shadows of Minidoka” are both vibrant and stark, tranquil and confrontational, heart-wrenching and inspirational.
The Many Faces of … : Josh Adams
Josh Adams’ art conveys a sense not only of personality but also one of complexity.
Time, Talents and Treasure: Christy Veer
Christy Veer’s art lives up to her goals, in more than one way.
He Can Has Fun: BARRR (Jason Barr)
Jason Barr is clearly in touch (okay, make that a solid punch in the arm with a noogie to boot) with his inner ten-year-old.
Hump Day Funnies: Dale Martin et al.
Dale Martin’s “Watusi” is a likeable, lively character who should engage readers/viewers of all ages.
Pink/Pattern/Power: Andrew Huffman
It’s possible to make a big visual impact in a tiny space, as Andrew Huffman is doing at The Bourgeois Pig in Lawrence.
FAST PORTRAITS, NYE FINAL FRIDAY
Final Friday in December fell on New Year’s Eve for Lawrence’s galleries, and even though the coordinated gallery crawl is but a few months old, many spaces hosted exhibition openings to add to the holiday atmosphere. Here are some highlights from a month ago, as well as some previews for what to expect January 28 out on Mass Street, from Tom King and photographer Jamie Roper.
