Current Exhibitions
Homogeneous Bodies
Stephen-Bernard Derek Callender
November 11 – December 10, 2022
Homogeneous Bodies: Nodes is a sculptural investigation of the transmitters and receivers that act as physical markers of the invisible network. Taking a closer look at the infrastructural totems that litter the sky, the work shows reverence to these towers that stand as the bridge to the omnipresent and omniscient, ever present cloud of human invention. With it we find ourselves Intrinsically connected to nearly all of humanity by only a matter of milliseconds. Intertwined, we find the very fabric of our evolutionary biology collapsing in upon itself, as our society continues to compress under a wave of our technological expansion.

Chance / Intention
The Art Gallery at Brightpoint is pleased to present the first solo show from student artist, Josh Cloninger. Initially interested in photography, Cloninger’s recent exploration of materials and process has led him to non-objectivism in watercolor. Each work documents the outcome of Cloninger’s experimentation with media and reveals the choices that he made in the work’s production. Cloninger lives in Powhatan, VA.

Movin'
Artwork by Anne Savedge
January 24-February 28, 2020
Opening Reception: January 24
For a number of years, Savedge has been photographing people involved in dance and other movement through space. Her fascination with capturing movement began with belly dancers and now includes ethnic dancers, modern dancers, ballroom dancers, acrobats, and twirling monks. Savedge uses in-camera techniques and digital processing to capture the energy and excitement of a performance in images.
Then and Now
Artwork by Diana Detamore and Laurie Carnohan
October 25-December 13, 2019
Opening Reception: October 25
Diana Detamore has taught in the Visual Arts program at Brightpoint for nearly twenty years; during this time Laurie Carnohan was one of her students. After Laurie graduated, they maintained their friendship, encouraging and inspiring one another’s creative pursuits. Both artists use mixed media to create richly layered images, which move between abstraction and representation. Their work shares several common themes and sources of inspiration: the mysteries of nature, the transcendence of time, and the inherent beauty discovered in obscure and fleeting moments.
