Ceramic artist Nada Romanos Abizaid invites viewers on a sensorial journey through sculptural forms in her solo exhibit IMPRESSIONS AND BIOMES, inspired by natural sites. Tactile and conceptual imprints are embodied in works depicting biomes and a playful dialogue among the forms. Hand-built with clay, glazed, and fired by various methods, these sculptures evoke the integral rapport between Earth’s living landscapes and the atmospheric conditions that shape them.

Abizaid will be in conversation about her exhibit and process at The Art League Gallery Friday, November 18, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. RSVP here.

Tim Doud: Prolepsis    

CDGJWAT (Yellow-Green) M 2022 by Tim Doud; Acrylic and oil enamel on wood panel, 34 x 28 x 2 inches

Painter Tim Doud’s interest in fabric came about from his previous work in portraiture where his subjects dressed for sittings. Through the intense demand of painting the details of their attire, Doud became inspired by the symbolism of the clothing. Prolepsis, Hemphill’s inaugural exhibition of Doud’s paintings, features three works selected from ongoing large-scale projects that are connected by a focus on fabric and the semiotic nature of fabric patterns. The paintings are loud and boisterous, overflowing with the visual drama of conflicting abstract imagery. Prolepsis opens Saturday, November 12 with a reception from 6 – 8 pm, and is on view through December 23. Hemphill is located at 434 K Street NW.
