It’s the Little Things: Small Selections from ABFA
ABFA Gallery Artists
On view: 12/01/23 – 02/27/24
A selection of small-scale paintings from over a dozen of ABFA’s masterful gallery artists. The inherent intimacy of these smaller works allows for a highly personal and individualistic experience, and offers a deep contemplation of nuance in each individual piece… “It’s the little things in life.”
THE PROJECT SPACE: Wish You Were Here: Paintings by Ron Weis
Ron Weis
On view: 12/01/23 – 02/27/24
Ron Weis’ small paintings represent what he loves about oil paint. A medium that allows for a wide range of subtly-varying applications on various surfaces, its flexibility endows small and often overlooked objects with expressive possibility. In this instance, he uses as his subject something as disposable and mundane as a postcard, and through the act of painting has raised it to the level of icon.

Warner K Varno
On view: 02/02/24 – 02/26/24
Warner’s painting surfaces are reminiscent of graffiti and street art and carry within them the spontaneity of the moment in which they are created, fully embracing and even extolling the Wabi-sabi (natural beauty) in both life and art, and valuing the power that play, surprise, and reclaiming our own attention has in our lives. These crows have something to say. They are in conversation with each other, with themselves and with the state of the world around them.

Consider the Body
Claire Trasorras
On view: 02/02/24 – 02/03/24
“A collection of black and white portraiture juxtaposed by a mixed media installation, this is the second iteration of my ‘body’ photo project. I initially approached this subject in 2021 during my very first photography course, where I called it The Body is Good.
In this current reiteration of the project, I explore the idea of the emotional body in addition to the physical, and both bodies in the context of reality. This is my response to what I perceive as very limiting, damaging, and rash normative views of bodies—and by extension people—that are so casually instilled in our society.”

One Thousand Words
Portrait Photography by Bryan Wark
On view: 02/02/24 – 02/27/24
“One Thousand Words” is a gallery that reflects my journey from emotional isolation to profound human connection, achieved through the art of portrait photography. Initially distanced from deep emotional ties, I discovered in photography a powerful medium for bridging gaps between myself and others. It became more than a method of capturing images; it evolved into a vibrant channel for engagement, understanding, and connection.
