Three shows at eye lounge:


LOGAN BELLEW: Theories

A theory can be both a question and an answer. However a theory really only purports to give us answers, often leaving us in a state of uncertainty. Growing out of John Keats' idea of “Negative Capability,” Theories by Logan Bellew explores our capability of accepting this uncertainty and even thriving in its beauty.

DAIN GORE: Desert Religion

Dain Q Gore presents new paintings in acrylic, oil and encaustic, alongside a live puppet show. The images and performance emulate the mental and spiritual wanderings of Jesus, Saints and Holy Fools. The puppet performance, “The Temptations (Not the Musical Act),” is co-written and co-performed with puppeteer Tommy Cannon, with a story lifted directly from the Gospel of St. Matthew with a wacky twist.

INGRID WELLS: Likeness

Likeness is a series of 20 new paintings in oil on panel by Ingrid V. Wells. These works are 4x4" which provides a certain type closeness between viewer and painting. All works are portraits of artists, reflecting on themes of modern identity and relationships of the creative. Bold, direct marks and playful color choices hint at the personalities behind the faces, while text and pattern play a role in defining space and the history between Wells and the other artists. Set in the Project Room of Eye Lounge, the space adds to the level of intimacy, placing the viewer in the center of the artist community.
