Photographs by Ronald Nuse
The exhibit will open on Friday, June 7, with a reception for the artist from 7 to 9 pm, and run through August 30. Admission is free and the public is invited.
These images of nature draw from four past and present photographic series by Ron Nuse. The Falling Shadows series explores the hidden mystery of nature. At first glance, the images seem to be traditional landscapes but at second glance they hint at another dimension of nature not usually seen. The Street Art series explores how art displayed in public places interacts with its environment, including urban nature. The Bamboo Pentaptych series shows bamboo images in five related panels. The Four Directions series shows nature using the visual language of surrealism.
The gallery is located on the second floor of the main building in the Callanwolde mansion at 980 Briarcliff Road, Atlanta. Viewing hours are from 10 am to 8 pm, Monday through Friday, and 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday. For more information call 404-872-5338.

"Forgotten"
Photographs by Sky Kim
The exhibit will open on Friday, September 13, with a reception for the artist from 7 to 9 pm, and run through November 8. Admission is free and the public is invited.
"Forgotten illustrates another meaning of beauty and attraction. There are places that we pass by, and they don't get much attention because they don't look glamorous. As I pass by, I notice that a place has its own unique, hidden beauty and intriguing personality. I can almost hear it in quiet whisper, asking for attention, wanting to be noticed and loved", says the artist.

Paintings by Christina Bray
Working in acrylics on canvas, Christina Bray’s paintings depict a fascination with Atlanta’s many abandoned old commercial buildings and the graffiti they have recently attracted. Her subjects include many now defunct Atlanta landmarks such as the Pullman Railyard and Glidden Paint Factory, as well as others. “The sites I have chosen to portray juxtapose the edgy newness of the graffiti alongside the gritty industrial decay,” says the artist.

"Viability Threshold"
An Exhibit of Recent Drawings by Ann Stewart
Working in graphite on oversized paper, Ann Stewart’s meticulous and complex drawings negotiate the boundary between randomness and structure. “I draw inspiration from cognitive science, philosophy and architecture,” says the artist. “My latest drawings feature precarious images that swarm, merge, float, implode and explode.”

Exhibition Dates: April 6 through May 25, 2012
"Putting Lipstick On A Sculpture"
An Exhibit of Sculpture by Kelly O’Brien
“Defining beauty is problematic, so is defining sculpture,” says the artist. “My recent work is an investigation of the fragile boundaries that separate beautiful from grotesque. My curiosity lies in opposites that share similar qualities. Cheap becomes classy, bland becomes bright, bulge becomes gaunt, and all is turned inside out.”

“Faces of the Yards of Clutter”
Photographs by Tom Zarrilli
Opening Reception Friday September 16
This exhibit is in conjunction with the annual city-wide event, “Atlanta Celebrates Photography”.
Tom Zarrilli has been photographing, writing about and documenting yard sales since 2004. His cultural and sociological examination of Americans and the clutter they sell in their yards has resulted in several exhibitions in the southeast. In "Faces of the Yards of Clutter," Zarrilli offers intriguing and amusing portraits of the sellers and the objects they no longer want in their lives and living rooms. "In this exhibit, photographed entirely in Atlanta neighborhoods, you may recognize a neighbor," says the artist, "or perhaps something you purchased at a yard sale." In addition to his photographic work, Tom Zarrilli has exhibited conceptual, performance and multimedia works at galleries in Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. He currently resides in Atlanta.

Drawings by Sam Parker
“The work in this exhibit is an exploration of my personal belief system,” says the artist. “I have created a set of mythic symbols to represent social issues such as isolation and alienation. I’ve also focused on man’s internal struggle between being creative and subservient in this age of information technology.”

Intaglio Prints and Drawings by William T. Livesay
“My landscapes do not exist as actual places, but are inspired by places I have seen that have made a lasting impression," says the artist. “The various components of landscapes: trees, fields, clouds, rocks and water, offer unlimited explorations of space, form, texture and light.”

New Work by Elizabeth D'Angelo
"The heart fears, protects, expands, expounds, lifts, and loves," says the artist. Elizabeth D'Angelo's newest body of work, a series of paintings on carved birch, investigates the expanse of the heart and delves into its crevices. "By carving into birch, I symbolically carve into the surface of exteriors, into the psyche, into thought, into what is just beneath the surface and expose the fundamental human need to reconnect with balance and center."

Works by Leisa Rich
In this artist's futuristic scenario, humans have destroyed nature in a never-ending quest to conquer and consume. Their disappearance has left the earth in a post-apocalyptic state, where organic matter left unchecked has morphed with the detritus left behind. The viewer is escorted through massive stitched comic book pages, into fantastic sculptural gardens where trash creatures have created a new world order...without us.

Working directly on the surface of actual game boards, Goldman superimposes a multitude of symbols, words and objects. "Game boards are popular culture items and are easily related to by people of all ages", says the artist. "I use the game board titles as my core idea for the art pieces. The titles allow me to explore a wide variety of human behavior. Dominance, love, greed, anger, addiction and consumption are some of the topics I explore."

Exhibition Dates: June 6 through July 25, 2008
"Before studying, teaching and making art, I was actively involved in industry as a production machinist and welder," says the artist. "My sculptural images are derived from real factories and warehouses."

The poetic images are inspired by the study and practice of Zen Buddhism and are intended to raise awareness of the ecological and spiritual significance of bamboo. This exhibit is in conjunction with the annual citywide event, "Atlanta Celebrates Photography". Image at right: "Nature's Beauty" 2005.
"I mix language and invented imagery to convey the transformative potential of painting," says Brotherton. "My work is a declaration of creative power: a new kind of visual poetics."
