Pop Up- Vizzini, Luchini and Schwartzkopf
June 16th-September 1st
Now available are works by these artists working in very different veins that are visually and emotionally supportive. Italian artist, Andrea Vizzini, who lives and works near Venice, is trained as an architect as is very discernable in his images of architectural spaces with Italian details and marked perspective. Adrian Luchini also trained as an architect. Originally from Argentina, but now living and working in St. Louis, he is well known and published for his architectural works, but also retains an active studio for his artwork, both drawings and paintings. This exhibition features several of his sophisticated figurative drawings, expressive of emotions and also placed within minimal elements of structure.
The works of both of these contemporary architects are complemented by several sculptural pieces by philosophy educated artist, John Schwartzkopf. His sensual black and natural wood forms interface and echo the linear and mass qualities of both the Vizzini and Luchini pieces. We hope you enjoy this brief POP UP EXHIBITION.

Let’s Talk Abstraction
September 16th-November 20th
James Kuiper, Michael Marshall, Annette Morriss, Fredrick Nelson, Kirk Pedersen, Doug Salveson, Christopher Tanner, Caroline Weld
What is it really? How did it get its place in the art world? Why is it important? Collectable? How to judge the value? Some people respond on a completely emotional level. Some respond strongly to the aesthetic. Some want a way to see inspiration and beauty in non-representational imagery. Some are very impressed by established values. Some see it as a window into a new reality. So many variables! It hobbled onto the art scene in a big way as a post war phenomenon, although the roots go much further back. Atrium is presenting a sampling of abstract work from the gallery collection for you to contemplate and enjoy. Some are new works in a first showing, and the exhibition also includes a few of our favorites. Please enjoy and we welcome you to send your comments and impressions.
