EXHIBIT INFORMATION
CURRENT EXHIBIT
Leah Tumerman's artwork will be featured the Library's Marilyn Citron O'Rourke Art Gallery from 8/20/25 to 9/28/25. Her artwork features abstract figurative paintings and poetry.
Leah Tumerman constructs narrative scenes taking cues from intuitively applied under-paintings. She watches for the emergence of figurative subject matter and then edits towards an oblique finish.
Often it is unclear where one form starts and others begin and this is belonging.
A body composed of color material is the artist's pursuit of new flesh unburdened by misappropriation and definition. Isolated yet connected figures explore inner vs. outer worlds and the impossibility of singularity; these forms create anti-linear structures and speak to one another in secret languages.
Periscope
is the artist’s effort to see around, above and through obstructions and into the matters of pleasure and refuge.
UPCOMING EXHIBIT
Party of Your Imagination
The Marilyn Citron O’Rourke Art Gallery at the Benicia Public Library is pleased to present Party of Your Imagination, an exhibition of artwork celebrating the creative spirit of visual artists at Art@Arc, an arts program within The Arc Solano in Vallejo, California. The Arc Solano is a non-profit organization which for decades has planned, developed, and implemented programs and services for adults with developmental differences and their families.
Established in 1995, Art@Arc provides Arc Solano artists with a supportive environment where they can discover and explore their creative voices. The freedom to create and the freedom to make individual choices are the cornerstones of this studio program, providing artists with the opportunity to discover and develop their singular talents and to gain recognition, confidence and self-esteem.
Party of Your Imagination is a collection of work showcasing artists who are currently or have recently been working in this stimulating studio environment. The exhibition is a celebratory selection from the abundance of highly imaginative artwork being created there, and it will be on display from October 3, 2025 through November 6, 2025. There will be a public reception on Saturday, October 4 from 2 to 5 PM.
