The Harrison Center is pleased to bring six new shows opening Friday, September 4th at 6pm for social distance viewing—don’t forget to bring your mask (masks required). In the Harrison Gallery, Kristin Divers will present, “Hot Metal.” The show was inspired by a gift from her husband – steel toe boots so she could explore the steel mills where he worked! What resulted is her new body of work, “Hot Metal.” Divers works in pastel, an old medium enjoying a resurgence in popularity, and especially adept at depicting the sparks and heat of her scenes.
In Speck Gallery explore Abi Ogle’s newest installation, “Natural Disaster.” The work is composed out of commonplace materials and yet each becomes increasingly strange as bodily forms emerge or are destroyed. Complementary music curated around the show composed by William A. Peacock will be performed in the courtyard by Forward Motion.
In the City Gallery, Josh Rush will present a new collection of oil paintings inspired by local scenes.
In the Underground Gallery, see “Symbols of a Dream” a collection by Joey Bauchle, inspired by henna and mandala patterns.
“My Art is My Movement,” a series of paintings by artist Johnson Simon will be on display in Hank & Dolly’s Gallery. The pieces, mostly works on canvas, explore the artist’s relationship to movement.
In the Gallery Annex, Ana Jeftic presents “Passing Time.” Shifting topography, erosion, and the changing climate inspired many of the ink drawings and oil paintings in the show. The collection also features recent drawings influenced by mandalas and plant cells completed during quarantine.
All art will be available to purchase in person during the First Friday event and available for purchase in our online store beginning Monday, September 7th. In-person viewings after First Friday are available by social distance appointment (contact speacock@harrisoncenter.org).
With support from: the Arts Council of Indianapolis, the Indiana Arts Commission, Christel DeHaan Family Foundation, and Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation.
