OPENING RECEPTION: Saturday, Sept, 10, 7-10pm
Ro2 Art is proud to open new exhibitions by two highly accomplished artists, Gillian Bradshaw-Smith and Robin Ragin.
IN THE LARGE GALLERY:
Gillian Bradshaw-Smith, who was born in British India, studied fine art in England, and first gained notoriety as an artist in 1970s New York -- garnering important solo exhibitions and museum shows -- has been living and creating art in Dallas since 1995. For her long-anticipated, first-ever Dallas solo exhibition, Bradshaw-Smith presents 'Finding Daphne,' a series of paintings in gouache and large-scale mixed-media fabric collage inspired by sensuous forms found in crepe myrtle trees.
IN THE SMALL GALLERY
Robin Ragin presents 'Upstart Crow,' which came about as the artist was in the final stages of dismantling the studio of her mentor of 15 years, David McManaway, six years after his passing. Through deep contemplation, she considered this task to be his last lesson in the profound possibilities held within objects left behind by others, thus inspiring her latest series of assemblages.
The exhibitions will be on vew September 10 - October 8, 2016 at Ro2 Art, located at 1501 S Ervay Street in The Cedars Neighborhood near Downtown Dallas. Opening reception will be held Saturday, September 10, from 7 to 10pm.
