Revolution Now at Gamut Gallery

| Tonja Torgerson

Revolution Now

The Revolution Now exhibition, curated by Ash Marlene Hane and Angela Sprunger, acknowledges women who are creating change, locally or globally, known to many or known to a few. Their revolutions may be large and loud or slow and quiet, but their fight is now. Fourteen artists, including Hane & Sprunger, created new limited edition fine art prints for this show. Working in a variety of print media – including monoprint, relief and silkscreen – the collection introduces viewers to women from all over the world and in doing so encourages new dialogue and understanding.

plagued-detail

Now on display at the Sleeth gallery; Plagued is a solo exhibition of my recent works that examine illness, death, and the impermanence of the body. These multi-media works explore the collision of attraction and disgust, and how it creates a difficult beauty and a pleasant anxiety. The exhibition showcases works which blend figurative, street art, and traditional printmaking practices. More photographs of the exhibition can be found at http://tonjatorgerson.com/.

An opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 3rd at 4:30pm with an artist’s talk to immediately follow at 6:00pm in the gallery.
