"SCREAMING BABIES" solo show at Gallery Underground

A solo show in Gallery Underground’s Focus Gallery, “Screaming Babies” features large portraits with a close-up view of raw emotion. Linda Lowery has been painting and drawing crying babies for the past five years in a loose, expressionistic style using bold color. Whatever feelings they evoke, they’ll grab your attention and you won’t soon forget these images.

Lowery notes, “The pain and discomfort depicted in these portraits is a metaphor for the pain and discomfort we experience all of our lives. … when we see a picture of an infant crying, we identify with the baby’s pain or feelings of abandonment and insecurity and fright.” In these faces we are confronted with the human condition coalesced in the faces of newborns.

During March, Gallery Underground also features a new exhibit of members’ work in the Main Gallery, including sculpture, glass, ceramics, watercolor, oil, acrylic and mixed media.

Show runs March 2 – 28. Gallery Hours: M-F 10am - 6pm, Saturday 10am - 2pm.

Opening Reception: Friday, March 6, 5-8pm
