St. Charles Community College will display the artwork of eight regional painters Jan. 29-Feb. 23 in Abstract Rhythms: Painting Invitational. Sarah Giannobile, Jeff Hursey, William La Chance, Julie Malone, John Marksbury, Ethan Meyer, Jeremy Rabus and Nick Schleicher will be featured in the gallery of the Donald D. Shook Fine Arts Building.
Each artist works with a unique and interesting use of pattern, shape and color to form imagery suggestive of landscape, the urban environment and fantasy worlds. With nods to modernist painting and surrealism they stay rooted in contemporary approaches to their art. The results are vibrant, playful and provocative.
An opening reception will be held from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public.
Gallery hours are 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday. The gallery is located in the Donald D. Shook Fine Arts Building. Parking for patrons is free in the campus Blue and Yellow lots.
