This evening was the fourth Rat Gallery show at 52 O Street NW in Washington, D.C. I was impressed with quite a few of the pieces on display this evening and I think it was a successful event. I’ve picked a shot showing oil paintings by Ina Quadrio Curzio, an Italian-British artist who recently graduated from Georgetown University with a double major in Biology and Studio Art. From her artists statement, her subject matter “is centered around youthful environments, activities, and crowds. In my exploration, the figures undergo a purposeful deconstruction, their form intricately woven into a patchwork of brushstrokes that dissolve the boundaries between self and surroundings. This approach serves to dismantle youth culture into its chaotic essence of uncertainty and vitality. It invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of early adulthood and explore how our surroundings shape our individuality.”

I’ve also included a shot of three of the five Rat Gallery team. If you have any questions about Rat Gallery or would like your art to be considered for a future show, you should go to the Rat Gallery DC web site and contact the team.

Sadly, Cathy and I missed the fifth Rat Gallery because we were in Oregon when it happened. But we were back on the scene this time for what we expect to be the final Rat Gallery at the 52 O Street location. Katharine is moving her studio so we don’t know where or when the next show will be, but good things are bound to happen, so keep an eye out on the Rat Gallery Web site. If you don’t already know, Rat Gallery is sponsored in large part by The Hartley Residence and you’re going to want to follow them, as well, because they have more going on all the time.
