Selected 2020 Exhibitions

January 10 - February 10, 2020
​Permeable - Ardea Thruston-Shaine and Dominque Chastenet de Gery

In the oil paintings of Dominique Chastenet de Géry and Ardea Thurston-Shaine, landscape is used as a metaphor for the spaces of the mind. Exploring these spaces gives both painters and viewers insight into their own mental formations while absorbing healing through subtle shifts in color and an intimate relationship to the natural world. The artists play with the challenges of macro and micro views, creating undefinable spaces which oil paint has a unique ability to describe.

January 10 - February 10, 2020

Buckham Gallery is pleased to announce Eros & Thanatos, a national juried exhibition established to explore the Greek words for Love and Death.

Verisimilitude -​ Dominic Lippillo, John Morris, Casey McGuire, and Mark Schoon

From its inception, photography has reflected our desires for a perfect record created by nature and light. Verisimilitude brings together the work of four artists (Dominic Lippillo, John Morris, Casey McGuire, and Mark Schoon) who examine the uneasy truce/dialogue between photography and its appearance of being true or real. This exhibition is an examination of the authenticity of the photograph as a document of evidence and truth, a place where deceit and truth are simply reflections in a mirror.

August 14 - September 5, 2020
Ineffable Benedictions - 0591 | Matthew Osmon | Rachel Singel

#0591: 
People First

The large scale paintings of Flint artist, #0591, feature the everyday life of everyday people. #0591 gives a platform to examine social crises facing society today.

Matthew Osmon: Private Insurrection

Osmon’s works on paper explore the relationships between self-awareness and the subconscious. His aim is to present enigmatic, engaging and challenging micro-narratives filtered through an invented environment evoking a dream reality where juxtapositions and concepts get shaken and stirred creating new and surprising narratives. The images seek the complicity of the spectator in the play between the real and unreal, the conscious and subconscious, the poetic and mundane and the shadows where these concepts overlap.

Rachel Singel: Metamorphosis
Singel’s use of line develops into curves, from curves to semi-circles, and from semi-circles to the full circle. This stylistic tendency comes from her interest in openings in nature—those places around which nature’s complex forms develop. Close studies of natural objects reveal holes in their surfaces. Singel’s hand printed intaglio etchings evoke the fragility of her subject in the object of her work. Delicate handmade papers gently hold her natural world.​

Dear Memory - Aj Cooke, Michele Leclaire, Lauren Scavo-Fulk

Dear Memory, is a collection of three concurrent exhibitions featuring Aj Cooke, Michele Leclaire, and Lauren Scavo-Fulk, which explores nostalgia through different forms.

Cooke’s mixed media investigations start with childhood photographs and analyze them using the language of design. Leclaire, also using old family photographs as a starting point of her paintings, uses color and paint to erode memories through the process of working to create new memories, emotional experiences, and to explore the imaginations of childhood. Scavo-Fulk’s drawings focus on landscape as universal and personal, intertwined in both individual lives and collective histories.

While each starts within a place of personal experience, each attains a moment of the universal experience.

Serious Play
 
features the work of Flint artists Andy Hill, Timothy Kranz, and Sifus J. Thompson. Working in assemblage, drawing or painting materials, each approaches popular culture to explore their own identity through often familiar and loved images. Though whimsy may be an initial response to Robots, Star Wars, and Westerns, the artists are touching on relevant issues of a disposable culture, isolation, and identity in pop culture.

November 13 - December 5, 2020
A Climate of Change- Buckham Artist Collective

The annual group show is a tradition for the Buckham Fine Arts Project. This year we return to our roots, featuring a themed collection of work by Buckham artists. 2020’s  A Climate of Change explores each artists’ interpretation of current events. Whether environmental climate change, political, racial, educational, social economical, or gender, it is a time of shifting paradigms.  

A Climate of Change featured work from the Buckham Artist Collaborators:
Guy Adamec, Aisha Changezi, Nic Custer,  John Dempsey, Donovan Entrekin, Gary Gebhardt, Andy Hill, Craig Hinshaw, Robert Huebel, Michele Leclaire, Emily Legleitner, Janice McCoy, Michael D. Melet, Sam Morello, Karen Milito, Ken Milito, Matthew Osmon, Nancy Pennell, Paul Rozycki, Sifus J. Thompson, Chris Waters, Eddie Watkins, and Linda Lou Woodruff.

Shadows- 2020 Buckham Print Exchange

The Buckham Fine Arts Project’s second annual print exchange is a collaborator-driven opportunity to make and trade prints with other printmakers. Fine Art prints are handmade images on a matrix, which are then inked, and hand printed in a limited edition. All participants create a new print, traditionally responding to a theme and on a predetermined size of paper, printing enough for each participant to receive one of each image. An additional copy of the print is retained by Buckham Fine Arts Project to be permanently archived.

The 2020 print exchange participants included: Donovan Entrekin, Michele Leclaire, Emily Legleitner, Janice McCoy, Matthew Osmon, and Eddie Watkins.​

United By One featured the work of five artists: Linda Allen, Nanci LaBret Einstein, Christina Haylett, Claudia Hershman, with their mentor Charles McGee.

2008 Kresge Eminent Artist, Charles McGee, was a prominent fixture in the Detroit Arts and Culture scene. McGee, known for his paintings, assemblages, and sculptures, is featured in public collections including the Detroit Institute of Art and Charles H. Wright Museum of African American Art.  In addition to his prestigious and prolific career, McGee touched the lives of thousands of students- not just teaching art, but mentoring young artists and the way they think art.

Accomplished artists in their own right, Linda Allen, Nanci LaBret Einstein, Christina Haylett, and Claudia Hershman each approach their chosen disciplines to make a unique statement. They do not copy McGee’s style, but were inspired by his way of seeing and thinking about art. Whether in paint, sculpture, or mixed media the persuasive themes are rhythm, color, and life.
Buckham Gallery is funded by the following organizations:
Generous support is provided by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation.
