Friday 9.2
Opening Reception: Member Collective Showcase
Hosted by: Uforge Gallery
“Uforge Gallery is pleased to announce its exhibit for September, featuring new works from its members and generously sponsored by Trisha Solio, Unlimited Sotheby’s International Realty JP.
In August, Uforge announced its decision to close its Jamaica Plain space at the end of October 2016. Its membership collective has been a grounding force in its exhibitions for the past two years, and it is expected to continue as an important aspect of Uforge in its new, floating incarnation. This exhibit will be the second to last exhibition and final showcase in this location to focus on this group, who range from surrealist painters and collage artists to street photographers and digital illustrators. Work on view will feature meditative landscapes by Lior Neiger, curious collages by Cristina Rosa Nelson, and colorful mixed media paintings by Sandrine Colson-Inam.”
