REHOBOTH BEACH, DE – The Rehoboth Art League celebrates the opening of two new exhibitions with an opening reception from 5-7pm on Friday, November 12, at their historic Henlopen Acres campus.
Opening in the Corkran Gallery is the surreal and bold work of David Heatwole and David Curtis. Their joint exhibition, Seascapes – Under the Surface: Information, explores the energy that fuels the cyclical process of life, death, and rebirth. Their work presents a series of fantastic visions of a post-apocalyptic world recreating itself in surreal “aquariums” and “terrariums” that include fantastic allegorical creatures.
Also opening Friday is the striking work of Constance McBride. Her sculptural installation, The Lonely Girls, debuts in the Tubbs Gallery as a project that began after the artist’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. This project started out as a portrait of her mother, who lived her final years in a nursing home, but expanded to become a collection of portraits of the women living with her mother. Once vibrant and accomplished women were reduced to mere shells of their former selves, with functioning bodies but failing minds.
Join us at 10am on Saturday, November 13, 2021 for a free public Gallery Talk with Constance McBride. McBride will provide a walkthrough of her exhibition to discuss the evolution of this project and how her work explores themes of identity and memory with an emphasis being placed on issues most experienced by women.
The Rehoboth Art League is located at 12 Dodds Lane, in Henlopen Acres. Gallery and Homestead hours are 10:00am – 4:00pm Monday through Saturday and Sunday 12:00pm-4:00pm.
