My Heart Like a Kick Drum
Saturday September 19, 4:00 PM - Sunday November 1
Kenise Barnes Fine Art -7 Fulling Lane Kent, CT
Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to present My Heart Like a Kick Drum, a two-person exhibition featuring work by Will Hutnick and Melissa Marks, artists whose practices channel rhythm, repetition, and
emotional velocity into visually charged, deeply imaginative worlds.
In My Heart Like a Kick Drum, Hutnick and Marks explore the pulse of interior life—its accelerations,
syncopations, and unexpected shifts—through distinct yet complementary visual languages. Hutnick’s
layered abstractions, built through collage, pattern, and improvisational mark-making, generate a sense
of movement that feels both bodily and architectural.
Marks’s drawings and paintings push gesture to its expressive edge, transforming line into a living force.
Her forms twist, collide, and unfurl with a kinetic intensity that mirrors emotional states—joy, urgency,
longing, and the restless drive of imagination.
Gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday 11:00 – 5:30, Sunday 12:00 – 4:00
