Robin Colodzin's The Language of Presence opens at The Cove Gallery, May 7th–18th. The solo exhibition brings together three bodies of work: oil paintings that start from close observation of the natural world, then depart from the immediate scene to allow an invented reality to emerge; cave wall paintings that draw from the texture and feeling of prehistoric cave art, reaching for connection across time to the earliest human mark-making; and text-paintings built from a journaling practice noting ordinary moments of sensory experience, letting the words themselves become visual marks. Opening reception Saturday, May 9th at 4pm.
