IN GALLERY 2 / AFTER THOUGHT: Denise Jones Adler, Barbara Brocklebank, Damien Olsen Berdichevsky, Roberta Greenberg And Ken Nelson
Denise Jones Adler’s four new works move between landscape and portrait, built from layers of collage, paint, and mixed media. Each piece holds a second look, where a first impression gives way to something quieter beneath the surface.
Barbara Brocklebank values art as a balance to the chaos of modern life. Working in acrylic, ink, collage, and assemblage, she creates one-of-a-kind pieces on paper that offer a place to pause and stay with you after the first glance.
Damien Olsen Berdichevsky’s work responds to the social ambiguity produced by contemporary architecture and the feverish logic of development. He is interested in how environments driven by speculation, speed, and branding subtly infiltrate and operate beyond their totemic presence, leaving an impression that lingers like an afterthought.
Roberta Greenberg is a mixed-media artist whose work reads like a series of quiet letters: layered, intimate, and patiently waiting to be discovered. Drawing from a lifelong relationship with materials, pattern, and storytelling, she blends personal history with universal moments, inviting viewers to slow down and find the meaning that arrives on a second look.
Ken Nelson is a mixed media artist who finds inspiration in the real world: landscapes, objects, reflections, and fleeting moments. His landscape work blends the traditional methods of the 19th century Hudson River School with a contemporary appeal, capturing both what the eye sees first and what lingers after.
