It is the last week to view “Historical Rubbish” by Melissa Furness. Furness states, “With these works, I extract repeated elements from their original sources and recontextualize them as a collected pile, like rubbish, to visually discard as cliché rather than to individually revere. The subject matter depicts collections of items that were repeated motifs of their day, representing ideals of opulence, beauty and knowledge—consumerism and gluttony. In producing these works as ruinous rubbish, I seek to question this history and its significance in the line of time up to this day. These items become nothing more than a pile of clichés or stereotypes perpetuated by a brutal past when one recognizes the repetition, pattern and resulting propaganda of such imagery.”

Stop by anytime this week or view the exhibition online at https://kiechelart.com/exhibition/historical-rubbish-melissa-furness/.

TODAY! October First Friday is today from 5-8PM. This is the last First Friday to view our current exhibition “Historical Rubbish” by Melissa Furness. Browse our two other gallery floors to view 19th and 20th century new arrivals and enjoy a cash bar. See you tonight!

We’ve recently acquired three works by Dale Nichols, an American regionalist painter recognized for his rural landscapes. All three pieces focus on the transition into fall and late fall, reflecting Nichols’ skill in capturing the shifting light and mood of the season. With fond memories of his childhood on a neighborhood farm in Nebraska, Dale Nichols continued to be influenced by his affection for his native Midwest. “Farm life was all I knew for the first 20 years of my life. In painting these canvases, I felt again the vastness of endless skies, experienced again the penetrating cold of Nebraska winters, lived again as farmers live …in spirit, I am very much a farmer.”

These works are currently on view, or can be found online at https://kiechelart.com/artist/dale-nichols/.
