Kristen Newell: Unfolding
WOLFS Gallery specializes in 20th-century art by established names, including Ohio artists, so this show by 34-year-old Cleveland sculptor Kristen Newell is its first by a newcomer. Gallerist Michael Wolf saw her work at his framer’s shop and checked it out. He was impressed by her approach to figurative art and how her human figures portrayed emotions, using cracks created in the kiln to represent human experiences and how they heal but leave a mark.

Raja Deen Dayal: The King of Indian Photographers
One recent acquisition in CMA’s growing photography collection is a set of 37 photos made in 1886 and 1887 by this pioneering Indian photographer. Initially a surveyor for the ruling British government, he made his hobby his career, with access to the elite of his country, both British and Indian, including royalty, the government and the military. He shot formal portraits of rulers and nobility but also servants and everyday activities, depicting a nuanced view of India’s late 19th-century society. The exhibit also includes paintings, textiles, jewelry and clothing from CMA’s collection for context.

Keith Haring: Against All Odds
Part of a generation of scrappy artists that emerged from the raw, pre-gentrification New York of the ’80s to become major art stars, Keith Haring generated controversy by keeping his art accessible and tied to the street, even his prices were soaring. He blurred the line between fine art and commercial graphic art with his repeated, cartoon-like figures and symbols, and opened his Pop Shop in New York to sell T-shirts, posters, buttons and other inexpensive items. As part of its major Haring exhibit, featuring 110 of his works, the Akron Art Museum will recreate the shop.

Opening reception 5-8 pm May 19
Artist Justin Brennan brings his latest series of figurative paintings down from his top floor studio at 78th Street Studios to HEDGE Gallery on the second floor. His thick brushwork and color palette, which artfully blends vivid primary colors and subtler hues, is deployed to express a series of mostly introspective, often tumultuous, human emotions. He mixes oils, latex, enamel and even spray paint to create rich, textured surfaces.

Dexter Davis—Eclectic: People, Places, and Things
Gallerist Bill Busta has long been a champion of mixed-media collagist/painter Dexter Davis, both at his former space on Prospect and at his newest small gallery in the Waterloo Arts District. Davis emerged from Cleveland’s inner city to graduate from Cleveland Institute of Art and land a job as a guard at the Cleveland Museum of Art. That gave him the chance to absorb many influences that appear in complex, vivid, restless, even violent, compositions, adding African influences to traditional European ones, as he draws on various mediums and incorporates a wide range of materials into the works.

The Goddess Project: Warriors by Judy Takács
Takács’ warts-and-all detailed portrayals of women of all ages and types have never seemed so timely. She’s got a special knack for making strong feminist statements in her portraits, revealing a deep well of humanity in her subjects that keeps the images from becoming heavy-handed. Her Goddess Project takes goddesses and heroines from history and mythology and recasts them as modern women, filling out one-dimensional, idealized stories and complicating them. She portrays them as women of different races, ages and body types who challenge patriarchy, fight for justice and stand in solidarity with other women.
