This May, the Rehoboth Art League will mount five exciting art exhibitions of varying mediums, styles, and techniques. From May 9 to June 8, the league will display solo exhibitions from abstract painter Martha Spak, mixed media artist Kim Klabe, ceramicist Susan Gladstone and assemblage artist Tim Barton, as well as a showcase of Howard Schroeder sketches from the RAL Fine Art Collection.
Kim Klabe showcases her newest body of work in “What About the Women: Work by Kim Klabe.” This exhibition, which will be housed in the Tubbs Gallery, explores the expression, beauty, and challenges of women, both in today’s world and in our history. The work is a mixed media collection that utilizes wood panels, heavy watercolor paper, rice paper, smudgy charcoal, pastel pencils, house paint, liquid watercolor and cut paper. These images invite the viewer to “feel” the challenges these women have experienced, some of those challenges being suggested with the title, the blurry words behind their faces or the expressions on their faces. This show is about freedom of expression, working through pain and grief, and the strength that comes from the experience of being broken and rebuilt.
On the evening of May 9th from 5-7 pm, the art league will host an opening reception for its exhibitions, inviting anyone interested to visit the Corkran, Tubbs, Ventures, and Homestead galleries to see these new shows. Learn more about all of RAL’s exhibitions at rehobothartleague.org.
