The Schumacher Gallery Presents: A REQUIEM: TRIBUTE TO THE SPIRITUAL SPACE AT AUSCHWITZ BY SUSAN MAY TELL
September 7 - December 11, 2021
Reception: Thursday, September 9, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
This haunting exhibition by Susan May Tell hosts 17 photographic images without words, titles, or even frames. These images stand as witnesses to the horrific scene that was Auschwitz. Tell explains that her imagery meditates on the idea that “like other sacred grounds that are decaying, Auschwitz today is disappearing and raises questions about whether places of this kind should be restored and the importance of memory and commemoration. Equally important to my artistic vision and is my commitment to Auschwitz as a meditation on decay and memory.”

Coming Soon:January 17 - April 9, 2022 - When Nature Speaks
This exhibition celebrates the decades-long friendship of painters Karen LaValley and Kirsten Bowen. Both influenced by the allure of nature’s beauty, these artists pass down generations of influences in their craft. Drawing upon her father’s love of writing and reciting poetry, Bowen incorporates prose in the texture of her paintings. Her thickly painted scenes are often a means of collaboration, borrowing and elevating the work of independent writings. A child of dancers, LaValley paints energetic landscapes that emote joy and excitement influenced by her youth spent in her family’s dance school. She is often seen painting plein air in the open spaces near her Columbus home and brings her gardens to the gallery walls with whimsy and expertise.
Reception: Thursday, January 20, 5:00 - 7:00 p.m.
