The abstract paintings and mixed media pieces of Connie Elsberg’s solo exhibition Coming Together touch on several themes including evoking light and windows; energy, movement and journeys; and objects floating in space. Two of the paintings were made in response to works by Richard Diebenkorn and Laxman Shreshtha.

Elsberg thinks of painting as the process of combining elements and creating a mood. She finds that the way in which the elements come together is always something of a surprise. “As my work is intuitive, I don’t necessarily begin with a clear subject or purpose, and my paintings are varied in style and subject. They are more about process than subject.”

Meet the Artists: Sunday, April 27 from 2-4 pm

Constellations is a solo exhibition by Elena Tchernomazova, featuring more than two dozen ceramic sculptures. The artwork is dedicated to the artist’s first professional love—astronomy. Both before and after receiving a Master’s Degree in astrophysics from the Moscow Government University, she worked at two Caucasus Mountains observatories as a laboratory assistant and later junior scientist. From the time she was a teenager, Tchernomazova held a deep fascination with astronomy and cosmology; independently learning all of the northern hemisphere constellations and their corresponding mythology.

Tchernomazova has been practicing ceramics for nearly 20 years, which she studied at Montgomery College. Her works are hand-built, often with elements of surrealism. The majority of her inspiration is derived from various Eurasian mythological traditions and the art of Medieval Europe, Ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle East, India and China. 

Closing Reception: Saturday, March 23 from 3-5 pm
