Three new shows open at BAU Gallery this May. The opening reception takes place on Second Saturday, May 9th at 6:00 PM and the shows run until Sunday, June 7th.
Karen Allen: Surprise Garden
The paintings and objects in Karen Allen’s exhibition Surprise Garden take viewers on a search for undiscovered meanings and stories, one that mirrors the artist’s own. Through her process-based practice grounded in paint, paper, fabric, and repurposed items, Allen creates a journey into a personal and idiosyncratic “garden” of painting.
Soli Pierce: Stillness Speaks
Soli Pierce’s new exhibition, Stillness Speaks, brings together long-exposure photography, encaustic painting, and sculpture in a meditation on light, time, and presence. Across these practices, Pierce seeks a “still point”—an anchoring force within an often-fractured world.
BAU Invitational
For the BAU Invitational, each member of our gallery has selected an artist whose work they admire to participate in a vibrant exhibition that spans painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper. The resulting exhibition features a broadly diverse set of 14 contemporary artists, most of whom have never exhibited at BAU Gallery.
Invited artists: Julia Arstorp, Gülnar Babayeva, Paola Bari, Carol Bouyoucos, Elvira Clayton, Denise DeVore, Kristin Flynn, Meg Hitchcock, Bibiana Huang Matheis, Qiana Mestrich, Anette Millington, Allyson, Montana, Thomas (T-Bone) Muniz, and Samantha Palmeri.
