For the month of October, Russo Lee Gallery exhibits Overlands by invited artist Gabriel Liston. During a 2022 railway trip across the country, Liston describes staring out the window and drawing. He kept his watercolors open and painted a handful of the penciled pages while still on the train. The body of work for this exhibition is based on the notebook sketches made during that time.
Opening Reception | Thursday, October 5, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Artist Talk | Saturday, October 14, 11:00 a.m.
