Chaddock & Morrow Gallery – Located at The Dairy Barn Arts Center
On View January 19 – March 10
A reception will be held on January 19, from 6-8 pm alongside OH+5.
Logan presents generations of stories about a single place with the goal of showing how that place shapes, and is shaped by, the people who live on it. The individual narratives of the work, when layered, address topics as simple as pride and joy but also as complex as generational wealth, climate change, and racism. These stories are illustrated through the abstraction and compression of representational narrative elements into absurd and complex forms.

Topographies
by Natalie Lanese
O’Bleness Gallery – Located at The Dairy Barn Arts Center
On view: September 8 – December 8, 2023
Topographies is a series of abstract paintings on fabric inspired by landscapes and geological forms. Unstretched and suspended, the paintings reside somewhere between painting and object, encouraging the viewer to interact with the work within the gallery space. Signature devices such as simplified shapes, patterns, and bright and contrasting color combinations construct both physical and psychological spaces on an impressive scale.

Reanimated: A New Purpose
by Adrian DesJardins
Holzer Community Gallery located at 2131 E State St, Athens, OH 45701
July 6th – September 4, 2023
My work is meant to be transformative. I attempt to reanimate mundane objects, giving them a completely new narrative. Some of the items incorporated in these pieces were selected purposefully, while others were surprise finds. Either way, my intention is always to elevate a more beautiful existence than they previously had. The inspirations and visions for my work are things I greatly enjoy sharing.
