"Shaping Perspectives” Main Floor Exhibition “Shaping Perspectives” brings together Nichole Gronvold Roller and Kimberlee Rocca -two artists who challenge and expand the boundaries of painting, asking us to reconsider its definition and invites us into a conversation where painting becomes not just a surface, but an evolving spatial experience as sculpture. “Sehnsucht ": 2nd Floor Gallery “Sehnsucht” (zeen- zookt) is a series of paintings born out of spending time in the writings of one of my favorite authors, CS Lewis. Lewis explored the idea of humankind’s spiritual hunger and a shared experience described as, “sehnsucht”, a German word used by many poets and writers of the Romantic era to describe a profound, yet fleeting longing for something we can’t explain, but know that it is beyond anything we will find in this world… “These [the beauty of art, music, nature] are a scent of a flower we have not yet found, the echo of a tune we have not yet heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.“ - CS Lewis
