For a long time before taking a stab at being an artist, Sean Gallagher was a journalist and photographer, and in both, he attempted to capture the moments most overlooked. While others would call the digital illustrations in his exhibit, When Things Are Gone, They're Gone, "slices of life," he thinks of them more as the instances before the events play out. In these brief snippets there are infinite outcomes, and Sean aspires to show the malleable instances before effect takes hold so the viewer can create their own results to the fragments in time he has portrayed. Inspired by magical realism in literature, mythology, and memory recall, Marc Chicoine’s exhibition, After the Confetti Falls, invites viewers to step across the threshold of the waking world and into the labyrinth of the human psyche. Featuring a collection of works suspended 'above the real,' the show visually manifests a distinct 'dream logic' where the boundaries of time, objectivity, and identity merge. These concepts take form through a striking mix of the human figure, fractured geometry, graphic linework, and hallucinatory psychological landscapes. The artists will host a free public reception at the gallery from 5-7pm on Friday, September 4.
