Oxbow Delirious Dreaming Pugilist and Other Stories , Klara Glosova Closing Reception: Saturday, July 14, 6 – 9pm “The cornerstone of this project is a small print of a brick wrapped in brown butcher paper and named “Pugilist”. In fact, picture two bricks. The two main characters-the stars of the show-are a pair of bricks, one for each hand. They are not particularly stunning, monumental or impressive in their presence, nevertheless their weight is considerable – they can be used as a support or to hold things down, to break through or to build with. With these qualities in mind I want to build a new narrative for what it means to be a woman fighter.” -Klara Glosova Fogue Studios & Gallery – 50 Artists Over 50 Over 100 pieces of fine art, poetry readings, live music and working studios all exhibited and performed by a collective of creatives over the age of 50!

Accompanying these are smaller pieces thickly painted and layered, contrasting static shapes with streaks of movement. Nupasa Gallery features new paintings by John Ohannesian.
