Buckham Gallery is pleased to present three concurrent solo exhibitions, featuring the works of Aisha Changezi, Adrian Hatfield and Ryan Lewis. 

Aisha Changezi | Oasis of Symmetry
Aisha Changezi is an interdisciplinary artist, fascinated with the process of creating art to explore different styles and mediums. Islamic geometric patterns are of particular interest and Changezi gets lost in the symmetry, the earthy color palettes, and the ebb and flow of angular and biomorphic shapes all coming together in perfect harmony. Her process takes traditional geometric patterns and presents them in a contemporary way– be it paper cutting by hand, replicating the slow and meditative process of tile cutting or plaster carving, or impersonating Persian miniature strokes on a macroscopic scale. 

Viewers will lose themselves in the hypnotic, intricate designs of these works, just as Changezi had in the slow labor of constructing these complex pieces. While observing the structural insights of these patterns, one can ponder on their inner self and their connection with the universe.

Adrian Hatfield |  Late Stage Block Party
Adrian Hatfield makes work examining the visual language strategies of science, pop culture and fine art history in conveying unfathomably huge subject matter. Now focused to address the overwhelming reality of our unfolding environmental catastrophe, his research is fueled by anxiety about our current environmental crisis, and it reflects an attempt to understand these events through the lens of geologic time. The paintings convey those experiences in tension: dread, splendor, joy, terror, wonder and the absurdity of human inaction. Their iconography samples and recombines elements from art history, illustration and satire, with a goal of existing somewhere between a requiem, a science fiction fever dream, and a call-to-arms.

Ryan Lewis | Everted Sanctuaries: Exquisite Contortions
Everted Sanctuaries is a series of stop-motion animated videos exploring the topic of introversion by Ryan Lewis. An animator, graphic designer, artist, and design educator based in Kalamazoo, Lewis transforms found objects to reveal complexities that often go unnoticed below the surface. The strains and stresses of transformation form a methodical performance where brokenness and adaptation are indistinguishable. 

Everted Sanctuaries communicate about the complex needs of introverts. Transformed objects become metaphors for the often uncomfortable process of becoming temporarily extroverted. Ubiquitous exteriors part to reveal intricate interiors—beautiful, but unintended consequences of the contortions necessary to fit in. Structures of solitude give way to churning interiors. Identities vacillate between self and other, hoping to please, becoming something new. Everted Sanctuaries demonstrate the remarkable flexibility of introverts and ask viewers to consider the depth and vulnerability concealed beneath silent surfaces.

Join Buckham Gallery on June 9 at 5 PM for a roaming Artist Talk with the artists!
