Art Exhibit: Found & Collected- A Vintage Showcase by Rank & File

  • Google Calendar ICS

The Holland Arts East Gallery is pleased to present Found & Collected, A Vintage Showcase by Rank & File.

This exhibition explores the rich tapestry of artistic expression from the mid-20th century, highlighting a curated selection of vintage artworks that have been discarded and rediscovered. Featuring pieces from renowned and unknown artists alike, "Found & Collected" invites viewers to engage with art that is "vintage" or at least 25-100 years old. 

Each piece has been thoughtfully sourced to tell a story of its own. From original prints and paintings to posters and paint-by-numbers, this collection emphasizes the potential of personal nostalgia. Each were "found" in diverse settings, from estate sales to flea markets, and "collected" into an exploration of artistic heritage.

"Found & Collected" not only celebrates the visual aesthetics of the 1950s to 1980s but also invites reflection on the enduring impact of art from the past and its resonance today.

Found & Collected runs December 2nd-December 30th and can be viewed during Yellowbird Coffee Bar’s hours of operation, Mon-Fri 7am-5pm, Sat-Sun 8am-5pm. Please Join us December 5th from 6pm-8pm in the Holland Arts East Gallery for an opening reception.

The Holland Arts East Gallery is pleased to present Pool Paintings, a solo exhibition by Sophia Weisensel.

Art Exhibit: Wish You Were Here

Art Exhibit: Wish You Were Here

  • Holland Arts East Gallery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The Holland Arts East Gallery is pleased to present Wish You Were Here, a solo art exhibit by Julia Klatt Singer.  The exhibit runs October 1st-October 30th and can be viewed during Yellowbird Coffee Bar’s hours of operation, Mon-Fri 7am-5pm, Sat-Sun 8am-5pm. Please join us October 10th from 6pm-8pm for the exhibit reception. 

About the Exhibit and Artist Statement: 

Wish You Were Here is a set of abstract paintings based on images taken from NASA satellites of earth; ocean currents, deltas, smoke, ice, and biospheres. Taken from above, they are a vertical look at our planet, the distance away giving us a patchworked, layered view of our world. 

Wish you Were Here is also a set of smaller (8 x 8) abstract paintings made from impressions of photos taken while driving highway 12, west, from Minnesota to the Pacific coast of Oregon. Taken from a car window, literal drive-bys, they are aiming for the horizon.

Both sets of these paintings explore how distance and light play into the way we see things. Colors merge and blur, light lays shadows and our eyes search for shape, for recognition; finding a beauty in patterns, curves and lines both natural and human-made.

There is so much beauty around us, but often we are too busy or too close to see it.  Stepping back, moving through a landscape, both near and far, changes our view of things, changes how we see it and in that seeing we notice the world; all the blues and earth tones, all they ways colors separate and connect. And how the boundaries are both solid and arbitrary.

I think this is why we travel.  To see something new about our world, to see it in a new way. And often seeing it means wanting to share it with someone else. So we take a picture.  We send a postcard. We commit it to memory. Even when we know we can’t keep it, can’t capture it, not exactly as we are experiencing it, we try.  Because experience is made of feelings, and feelings like air and light, wind and rain, shadows and time, are impossible to pin down. So we do the best we can. We point it out.  We tell someone about it. We photograph it. We paint it. And we wish you were here.

In a River the Color of Lead

to Aug 29

In a River the Color of Lead

  • Holland Arts East Gallery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

In a River the Color of Lead is an exhibition of new paintings by Minneapolis-based artist Preston Palmer.

Inspired by 17th-century Dutch Vanitas paintings, Palmer wanted to create a deeply personal body of work. He uses a variety of symbolic objects and imagery to evoke memories of the past and foreshadow an unknown future.

With this series of paintings, Palmer aims to confront both himself and his audience with the complexities of emotion and the human experience, capturing moments of vulnerability and discomfort in a stark and visceral way.

Join us at Holland Arts East Gallery on August 15th from 6pm to 8pm for the opening reception. Artwork will be available to view Mon-Fri from 7am to 5pm and Sat-Sun from 8am to 5pm from August 8th to August 29th.
