Craven Contemporary is excited to present its latest show, “Cyclical Universe,” featuring work by Christine Romanell. The show opens Saturday, January 11th, with an opening reception for the artist—weather permitting—from 3 to 5 p.m.
Romanell’s art practice explores the infinite through intricate, ever-expanding circular patterns. Inspired by cosmology and sacred geometry, her work represents the relationship between order and limitless expanse. She translates digital drawings into sculptures and paintings, using techniques like laser cutting and 3D printing. Colorful gradients guide viewers through layered forms, hinting at the mysteries beyond.

The title for the exhibition "Hazy Shade of Winter" was inspired by Simon & Garfunkel's song on a dreary day at the end of January. Things were looking pretty desolate, on many levels, and I kept thinking of time -- and hope -- slipping away. The lyrics felt very appropriate: "Time, time, time, look what's become of me.... Look around, leaves are brown, and the sky is a hazy shade of winter ...
With luck-- and perseverance-- winter’s darkest hour is a sign that spring is on its way and we can find a way to build again.

Range Life by Gregory Thrasher
March 1st through April 20th
Opening Reception Saturday, March 1st from 4-6 pm
Gregory Thrasher is a Mexican-American artist born and raised in the border town of El Paso, Texas. He lives and works between Brooklyn, NY, and rural Northwest Connecticut. Influenced by his ever-changing environments, the tableaus within these landscapes scrutinize the anxieties between our natural environment, industry, and Empire. His work is sardonic, without being cynical. One might feel disoriented or entranced viewing his paintings; as nothing is static; everything is in motion. The intention is to agitate the viewer, not as an infliction, but as an invitation: to help people access the psychic through the visceral and achieve gnosis through mania.
