The World We See: Two Painters and a Poet
(Elaine Dalcher, Stanley Krohmer, and Patricia Clark)
November 4- January 15
Padnos Gallery  
Opening Reception: Friday, November 19th 5:30-7:30pm
Our exhibit is rich with juxtapositions--natural landscapes next to cell towers and power plants, inner personal landscapes feverish with mark-making and color, as well as poems honed in moments both of transcendence and despair. Where does the eye/mind settle? It roves across all of these— contemplating, imagining and taking away insights about the various media: how paint illuminates and transforms, how words console and enlighten.

Sharing a common interest in the environment, our work expresses, in language and images, our regard for fellow humans and our intimate personal connections. 

Elaine Dalcher, Stanley Krohmer and Patricia Clark, are friends and colleagues working in Grand Rapids making art and writing poems. Though each was born in another part of the U.S., all have lived 25+ years in West Michigan. Their cultural contributions to the greater Michigan community are widely recognized.
