New Member, Chad Amos Self

Hera Gallery is pleased to introduce our newest member, Chad Amos Self. Chad is a recent Fine Arts graduate from University of Rhode Island and a Rhode Island native. You may recognize him from previous juried and member exhibitions at Hera Gallery. His work takes inspiration from, " Shape and line. Light and shadow. Objects do not have to exist in the material world. I try to manipulate the immaterial. It becomes a coexistence between the created visible and invisible spaces. The ethereal plane that exists where light is created, travels, refracts, dissipates, and returns to shadow."  We look forward to working with him. See more at: http://chadamosself.com/

Introducing New Fall Intern

Hello! I am Dylan Butler and here is a little bit about me.                     I was born in Warwick, Rhode Island where I lived for the first 11 years of my life. I then moved to Glocester, Rhode Island. From a young age, I always loved to draw and create things. When I was 12 years old my parents sent me to take cartooning and animation courses for young people at R.I.S.D. I loved seeing my ideas come to life and enjoyed group critiques; a concept unknown to me prior. By the time I graduated high school, I knew I wanted to continue learning about art.           I am now attending the University of Rhode Island and majoring in Fine Arts. On the day of my first class, I was unsure of myself and my abilities. My first class was drawing 1, and my teacher was Gary Richman. He introduced me to the medium of printmaking and completely changed the way I looked at making art. He instilled within me with a confidence that has carried me to where I am today. My portfolio has been growing ov

Calling Women Artists for two New York City Exhibitions in February

Listed below are two calls for art  from the Women’s Caucus for Art that will be shown in NYC this coming February.   1.     “Bound " We are seeking multiple expressions of Bound, which can range from literal to poetic, abstract to representational, and psychological to social & political commentary. Show work that explores the concepts of bound and borders—be they internal, external, constructed, imagined, imposed, or embraced and how boundaries define and shape our identities, relationships, ideas and politics. Artists are encouraged to interpret this theme broadly; submit works that have resonance and meaning to you.
