I was at Eyekons gallery this past Friday, registering for their workshop, and got a sneak preview of one of Kevin Rolly's pieces. This show is going to be outstanding, and is not to be missed! It will be especially relevant to those of us from Mars Hill who are going through Lenten rituals for the first time and desire a visual way to connect with the ancient mystery of it all. Kevin's Stations of the Cross pieces were described as being about 3'x3', dark, visceral, and deeply moving. He used lived models for his photography, made silver gelatin prints which he then affixed to backing and painted over with heavy dark-colored oils, covering the entire surface. The images you see appeared after he wiped off the oil paint in some spots to reveal the photograph, now tinted from the oils used. The textures and images are amazing.

This gallery houses fabulous artwork, and is worth more than one visit. I strongly encourage you to experience their upcoming Lenten show.
