Attend the opening reception for David Gista’s SANCTUARIES on Friday, November 8, from 6:00-9:00pm.

For nearly twenty years, David Gista’s work has focused on books and libraries, creating paintings depicting various subjects within libraries or interacting with books. His exhibition explores our relationship with knowledge and information in a hyper-technological society, questioning whether books are merely objects and if libraries are becoming sanctuaries of a fading physical world.

Gista’s work often transforms books into shapes and colors reminiscent of pixels, highlighting the tension between the material and digital worlds. He uses traditional mediums like paint to emphasize this paradox. One notable technique involves drawing on paper with a torch flame, symbolizing both revelation and destruction, referencing historical book burnings and censorship.

Gista’s “burnt drawings” embody both ambivalence and ambiguity through themes that reflect on the intersection of nature and technology. He parallels nature and libraries as sanctuaries, all the while questioning whether technology will soon blur the boundaries between the natural world and a new frontier of augmented reality.

Attend the opening reception for Raúl Ortiz’s WATERCOLOR WORKS on Friday, November 8, from 6:00-9:00pm.

With a penchant for color and contrast, Ortiz combines a variety of colors, patterns, and forms from multiple sources such as ethnographic patterns (Native American pottery and baskets, Islamic tiles, and Italian mosaics), architectural elements (antique vent/register covers, tin ceiling tiles, stained glass windows, wallpaper, and African printed textiles), and botanical forms (florals - orchids, succulents, and most recently focusing on the rose). His finished paintings reflect a collage-like process of overlapping layering, obliterating, and refinement of images with decidedly contemporary color choices. Ortiz’s Watercolor Works at the Sacristy Gallery, Epiphany Center for the Arts, is the first exhibition to solely feature his watercolors.

Attend the opening reception for Scott Mossman’s PICTURES & FORMS on Friday, November 8, from 6:00-9:00pm.

An active painter and sculptor since the early eighties, Mossman's work has always involved the relationships inherent in elements and objects within a given space. Through his sculpture, Mossman’s geometric forms interact with architectural elements within a space and comment on the viewer’s relationship with the work, and existing elements such as soffits, baseboards, ceiling height, windows, and doors, among other features within a space. For this reason, the viewer never finds his sculpture placed at eye-level, where one would find a painting, and subsequently, ignores the rest of the room. Mossman’s paintings also pose this challenge, as elements within the work, such as color, perspective, and composition, work together to push the limits of a flat canvas. Painted tableaus derived from postcard images are paired with illusionistic space to create windows within the canvas. In Mossman's PICTURES & FORMS exhibit, he has chosen a handful of two- and three-dimensional works that are perhaps his largest and most complex ever.

Attend the opening reception for Holly Holmes’ exhibit REVERBERATIONS on Friday, December 6, 6:00-9:00pm.

Since 2011, Holly Holmes has explored the tension between abstraction and representation. Her work resonates with the facts, readings, and translations of life’s elements, which she conveys through recurring themes, forms, textures, and colors. Travel, whether daily commutes or overseas trips, plays a crucial role in her art. Holmes meticulously chronicles her experiences, translating them into paintings and tufted rugs. She creates sketches on the go, using them in the studio alongside her memories and emotions to produce images that reflect direct observation and emotional resonance.

Holmes’ process involves constant examination and reexamination, which extends to her painting and color mixing with yarn. Recently, she has been creating paired tufted and painted works, allowing her to make creative decisions fluidly. While acrylic paint offers immediacy and ease of experimentation, working with yarn is more time-consuming, requiring careful blending and consideration. By alternating between these mediums, Holmes can test an idea in one place and realize and refine it in the other. These works are exhibited in conversation with each other and Holmes invites gallery visitors to share in their reverberations.
