Raymond Verdaguer
Raymond Verdaguer has some new engraving. Cutting decisively with a sharp blade with no chance of turning back produces simplified and defined patterns and lines that cannot be matched graphically by other means. Raymond Verdaguer is committed to creating images of ethical value that say something about humanity and the environment.website

Philippe Gronon
Through July 11
French artist Philippe Gronon’s gelatin silver prints of wall safes, library card catalogues and elevator doors are taken with a studio camera and enlarged to scale. Interested in how everyday objects inform collective or individual memory, the artist creates life-sized images that are hyper-descriptive of reality and yet also conceptual.
