We are delighted to open the doors on our newest exhibitions for September at the Cultural Center, Compact Visions, by painter Carl Richards – a display of his small abstract works – and collage artist Kathleen Rocha in an exhibition called Bits & Pieces. These contrasting displays brings together two distinct practices, each rooted in experimentation, yet united by a shared fascination with transformation and perception.

​

Richards’ paintings envelop viewers with bold strokes and layered pigments create a sense of movement and depth to his interior studies. In contrast, Rocha’s works, blending paint and word, build an intricate visual experience in each piece.

​

Side by side in the Center, these two exhibitions encourage us to enjoy the juxtaposition of style, energy, and experience. So we welcome you to come along, linger with the work in person, and experience the shifting horizons that emerge when two powerful artistic languages meet.
