May is the gateway to summer, and with the beautiful work in these three solo artists’ exhibitions, it’s time to step through each wonderful passage they present and explore their visionary work. Gateways merge, flow, and split. They are exclusive, inclusive, and parallel – which is what you might say about the gateways you’ll enter on your exploration through a universe of evocative, inspirational, and alchemic art. Kaye Freeman Freeman explores the transformative micro and macro interconnections of the environment, the self, and nature. Freeman works in painting, drawing, performance, and film, as she takes viewers on a passionate magical mystery tour that vibrates with color and surges with light and movement. Her images are both startlingly innovative and compellingly voluptuous. Karen Hochman Brown Experiencing Hochman Brown’s uniquely energetic forms and fascinating process is indeed a gateway to a new dimension, one in which her lush digital constructs is manipulated into a variety of art forms that dazzle with their own inherent mixture of line, shape, and movement. Whether working in time-based video or with fabric hangings that feature overstitching to accentuate the underlying print, her images are blissfully hypnotic. Scott A. Trimble Scott A. Trimble’s work is a poetic fairytale, stories interwoven with feeling, memory, and the wonder of dreams. His writerly titles lead the viewer deep into imagery that evokes two worlds: ours, and another more surreal landscape of the mind and spirit. His art manifests memories and creates a deeply involving visual narrative that is entirely, gorgeously, his own. *** All three artists’ work are gateways to a rich experience, an unfolding world. In the words of Alec Derwent Hope, the art in this exhibition serves as “the dream and…my gates of entry/The means by which I waken into light.” Step through these gateways, and enjoy the brilliant illumination of the Scott A. Trimble, Karen Hochman Brown, and Kaye Freeman in Gateways. Read more Toggle Mixed media Painting
