In the Month of March, Blockfort Gallery B hosts "Red on Gray". The exhibition is a showcase of new works by painter Adiah Bonham. The show features large format paintings with deep and mood driven imagery. The work evokes discussion about how the environment and marketing around the artists affect her growth and wellbeing. More from the artist:

 "These began as a space for me to accumulate layers. These layers depict morphing human figure as evidence of change on the canvas with quick grey marks. Exploring the grey around me, I started to notice just how frequent cadmium red is used in contrast to the gloomy grey streets of Columbus. Granted, grey does make the color beautiful and appealing. I enjoy how layering a painting feels like what I imagine a wealthy CEO feels when looking at their bank account: a big money number. (Despite how the painted layers are evident of mistakes underneath). In these paintings I sell myself my own evidence of change with the same marketing tactics of the Columbus Ohio businesses and ads around me to reclaim control of the desire that these two colors evoke. "

Adiah is a recent graduate of the Kent State University who maintains her current practice out of Millworks Art Studios. To see more of her work, visit this link.
