Vicinity 2025

Painters capture the essence of water. Reflect upon the abstract shapes of color and light that shimmer on the surface. Artists in this exhibition blur the lines between representational and abstract approaches. They are open to seeing beyond the horizon, and are keenly aware of subtle shifts in color temperature, mood and atmosphere. Like the weather, the work conveys a variety of moods, which ranges from tranquil and calm to stormy. This exhibition addresses the fragile relationship humans have with water, our most precious natural resource. Forty percent of all revenue from sales will be donated to the Alliance for the Great Lakes.Artists: Anna Marie Crovetti, John Fleck, Nicole Gordon, Louise LeBourgeois, Lynne Miller-Jones, Sarah Kaiser-Amaral, Jennifer Presant, and Nina Weiss.

Friday in the Park - August 2025

Perspective Gallery is proud to present a new exhibit by photographers&nbsp;Howard Hart and Kathryn Rodrigues. Hart’s&nbsp;Small Moments: Images from Egypt&nbsp;explores people and places away from monumental sites and the chaos of tourism. Hart’s black and white photographs document his personal impressions of Egypt though visually engaging images of small moments from everyday life. Hart is a charter member of Perspective Gallery and works in both analog and digital media.Inspired by a line from a Mary Oliver poem,&nbsp;Every Day Has Something In It Whose Name is Forever,&nbsp;Rodrigues’ work explores time, perception, and the interplay of constraint and expansion. This series stems from a volume of daily photographs, beginning over three years ago, of a skylight in Rodrigues’ home. Presented in a variety of forms, from grids to interactive photo sculptures, this work plays with the notion of time presented as both rigid and fluid. It is an ongoing body of work that invites viewers to enjoy a moment of quiet introspection.
