Step into a world where emotion meets canvas as Kwanza Humphrey unveils his latest collection of emotionally evocative portraiture in oil on canvas and mixed media on paper. With over 40 years of dedication to his craft, Kwanza’s passion for expressing the human experience through imagery shines brightly in every stroke.

From his early childhood drawings to his award-winning status today, Kwanza’s journey as an artist is as rich and vibrant as his masterpieces. His work, often described as impressionist realism, captivates audiences with its masterful technique and profound storytelling.

Recognized for his unparalleled talent, Kwanza has been honored with inclusion in exhibitions across the United States, including the prestigious new terminal at the Kansas City International Airport. His artwork graces the walls of esteemed institutions such as the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art and countless private collections worldwide.

Don’t miss your chance to witness the brilliance of Kwanza Humphrey’s artistry firsthand.

The exhibition includes work by Joel Pisowicz, Gina Pisto, and Logan Reynolds and is the culmination of their artist residencies at the Belger Crane Yard Studios. The past year has been one of growth and change for the artists and the exhibition is a reflection of the “passing moments” experienced during this pivotal time in their careers. Passing Moments explores nostalgia, memorial, and how objects present a view into the past.

While styles and techniques are unique to each artist, all three delve into themes of memory and the passage of time in their practice. Joel Pisowicz refers to monoliths with his austere, vertical sculptures. His forms and aesthetics pay homage to the post-industrial environment of his blue-collar upbringing. Gina Pisto creates sculptures referencing still life, flora, and domestic space. Pisto meditates on how objects are imbued with memory and emotion, transforming them into metaphorical portals to the past. Logan Reynolds’ familiar yet distorted domestic objects use humor to explore intergenerational relationships and value systems. Collections of cartoonish items referencing popular culture and consumer products are treated equally with “nostalgic fondness” and ambivalence. The exhibition is on view from June 7 through September 7, 2024.

Two local artists, Jackie Warren and Linda Nickell, use their art to explore the exciting world of landscapes. Each artist has their own voice when portraying the colors, shapes, and lines within the landscape and they both successfully create a sense of place for the viewer to experience. Whether it is the bold patchwork fields of colors in Linda’s work or the undulating rhythm of color and shape in Jackie’s paintings, each artist portrays a place we have all experienced and remember. A comfortable place to reside.
