Distillations: Patti Roberts-Pizzuto and Johntimothy Pizzuto

Now through March 15, 2025

North Gallery

Compatriots in art as much as anything else, the two artists share a restrained palette and lightness of touch. Both artists contrast elegant, atmospheric fields of marks alongside crisp manufactured edges, using the formal implications of depth and flatness to explore ideas of memory and temporality.

Twist: Carol John

Now through March 15, 2025

R. Lukasiewicz Gallery

Carol John’s paintings, whether diminutive or grand in scale, are all predicated on repeating marks and shapes. Dots, lines, and squares all multiply to create vibrating forms and surfaces that resonate with playful pop color.
