Gallery Route One is pleased to present:

Vickisa Unleashed, an exhibition incorporating paintings, painted drawings, and limited-edition, accordion-style artist books, all created through the use of acrylics and watercolor pencil media. The exhibition’s title represents her artistic approach: to use color with abandon and see endless possibilities in her daily life.

Bernie Schimbke in Progressions, whose watercolors demonstrate a shift from the pictorial to the abstract.

The Visiting Artist Program presents, Truth: Artist Books and Broadsides, a juried exhibition. The word “truth” has become politicized in the US and continues to take a beating in politics and social media. Can “truth” still mean anything? Can an artist embody or express truth in their artwork?

For this exhibition, artists were invited to express their ideas about truth in the form of handmade, handbound artist books, altered books, and broadsides. The artist books in the current exhibition range from personal, sometimes wildly expressive objects—to high craft creations.
