As our summer juried show edges toward its close — coming down a week from Saturday — we are happy to report that two REEMERGE artists will remain on the Wall: #AsyaLivshits and #JenniferBarrile. It’s notable that both are making their respective debuts in this space, meaning our upcoming MIDSUMMER INVITATIONAL SHOW will represent their first local encore (of many, we suspect). Jennifer made her inaugural outing at OFF THE WALL all the more auspicious when the jury singled this work out with an award: SEVEN STAGES OF COVID: SHOCK AND FREEFALL. We can all remember those early, rollercoaster days of the pandemic. “During COVID’s bleak onset, I didn’t make art for months,” reports Jennifer. “Eventually I found my groove again. Spending time outdoors with my husband and daughter helped to lift spirits, and my time in nature spilled over into my art — painting landscapes and cityscapes, using my imagination to create something fun.”
