SUMMARY:Summer Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Three new exhibitions at Crosstown Arts\, featuring works by Barbara Penn\, George Edward Walker\, and Romain Collin in collaboration with filmmaker Matthew Palmer. \nIn Big Life\, Long Life\, Barbara Penn draws from literary\, poetic\, and everyday sources to explore the space between the personal and the political. Working with painting\, drawing\, text\, and collage\, Penn examines the relationship between “the maternal and culture\,” creating layered images that emerge through associative thinking\, ironic connections\, and bold yet subtle applications of paint. \nGeorge Edward Walker’s A Snippet of God’s Unsung Children’s Journey is a powerful visual statement on resilience\, brilliance\, and strength. Through drawings inspired by the enduring spirit of people who persevered through dehumanizing and brutal treatment\, Walker reflects on dignity\, survival\, and the determination to be free. The exhibition stands as a tribute to “our brave Women and Men” and the resilience that continues to prevail. \nIn Chromesthesia: A Piano Triptych\, Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Romain Collin\, in collaboration with filmmaker Matthew Palmer\, transforms sound into image through a deeply personal exploration of synesthesia. Inspired by his solo piano trilogy DUST\, LIVE\, and AURA\, the multimedia exhibition invites viewers into an internal landscape where sounds become shapes\, textures\, and vivid color. By placing music in dialogue with cinema and visual art\, Chromesthesia creates a space to breathe\, recollect\, and dream a little.
