Johnny DeFeo: Even When You’re Not Sure, Something Out There Knows Right Where You Are. The moments DeFeo chooses to portray are sacred and primordial, as if they are the cultural documents of forest dwellers. These scenes don’t involve humankind, and have been taking place long before we existed or were paying attention. Carly Glovinski Carry In / Carry Out. Carly Glovinski’s solo exhibition at Visions West Contemporary (Denver), Carry in / Carry out, reference objects found in domestic space, and other bear references to outdoor leisure activities. Rag rugs, nature books, beach chairs and puzzles are some of the common objects that serve as a jumping off point for the work.

Opening Reception: , 6-9 pm
Solo Exhibition: Melissa Furness: Oddments. In her newest body of work, Melissa Furness depicts compilations of objects commonly used within the history of painting as a critique of the traditional Western canon of art

 In the Project Space: Ashley Eliza Williams: Communication Attempts. Williams’ paintings shift between representation and abstraction, zooming in and out of extreme focus. She is interested in what she calls “enclosed environments” or “shy ecosystems” — landscapes that exist within a contained area, often on or within a single object like a rock or cloud. These landscapes are painted with extreme detail and isolated in space. The scale is often ambiguous.
Through September 28

Gallery 1261  LLC
Opening Reception, 6-8 pm
Ron Hicks’ latest solo exhibition Esoteric Meanderings is a continuation to Hicks’ previous show, “Faces of Eve”. The artist’s goal for this most recent body of work was to strike an emotional response in the spectator, as well as to serve as a conduit to open dialogue. Ron Hick's works have been characterized as a blend of representational art and impressionism. Some critics have compared them to paintings by Rembrandt and Daumier. The 40-year old artist translates his own moody visions with a muted palette and rarely uses pure color. He particularly favors the variety he finds in gray. "Gray allows me to capture atmosphere, mood, and layers of emotion," he says. "Gray sets the tone for the rest of the painting."

Robischon Gallery
Opening Reception for the Artists, 6-8pm
Three Concurrent Solo Exhibitions: Christian Rex Van Minnen Paintings, Sculptures and Monotypes; Kiki Smith, Tapestries and Prints; Fred Stonehouse Paintings, Drawings and Prints; Two Person Exhibition: Terry Maker and Walter Robinson, Sculpture.  Through their varied contemporary investigations of the otherwise traditional modes of still life, figuration and narrative-based vocabularies, each of the five artists on view address the complexity of the modern world from a surprising stance. With dark wit and astonishing imagery, vanMinnen, Smith, Stonehouse, Maker and Robinson create their disruptive and disarming subjects primarily utilizing familiar materials of making: oil painting on canvas, linen or panel; drawing and prints including monotype, lithograph, etching, aquatint and dry-point; Jacquard tapestries and through a range of sculptural means from carved wood to found elements.

Home,is a Place Called Home, an exhibition of new works by Renluka Maharaj. An intimate unearthing of the diaspora of East Indian family life reflecting on the struggle to maintain cultural identity outside of one’s ancestral homelands. In this new body of work, Maharaj—of Indian ancestry but born and raised in post-colonial, multicultural Trinidad and Tobago—employs rigorous hand-embellishment techniques over vintage ancestral photographs to breathe life into the personalities of her distant relatives and brilliantly revive the color and vitality of Indian culture in the Caribbean.

David B. Smith Gallery
Opening reception, 6-8pm.
Shantell Martin, Underlined in the main gallery and Adam Milner, If digging something up makes it true, what does burying do?, in the project room. If digging something up makes it true, what does burying do? features a series of ceramic wall sculptures which incorporate personal mementos and artifacts. Drawing upon display systems of the home, museum, and store, Milner carefully brings items into dialogue with each other and gives attention to their support structures. Adam Milner draws upon personal exchanges with people, things and institutions, to examine systems of intimacy, value and power. Approaching materials and spaces that are often off limits, his works reveal boundaries and involve a process of negotiation and exchange; he has performed aboard a cruise ship hosted by the app Grindr, collaborated with material engineers at NASA to use rare lunar regolith simulant, intervened in the archives of Andy Warhol, and routinely drawn his boyfriend’s blood.
