Shapes Not Ours At Ghostprint Gallery

This show combines the work of two talented young emerging artists educated and living in Richmond.

Jenna Chew’s paintings and drawings from her personal journals focus on some of Richmond’s favorite locations [e.g. Can Can] and other subjects that catch her perceptive eye. Her impressions of what we observe on a daily basis using her sophisticated sensibility and precise technique cast them in a new light. Chew recently graduated from the Communication Arts Department at VCU and is finishing her studies at TAD [The Art Department].

Crystal Cregge uses liquid light on arches paper to create painterly images of women’s bodies, which verge on the abstract. The medium, in combination with her subjects’ shadows and curves, creates a sense of subtle intimacy with the observer. Cregge is a recent Magna Cum Laude graduate of VCU.

The title of the show comes from a Sylvia Plath poem, “The Other Two."

Shapes Not Ours will be appearing at Ghostprint Gallery (220 W. Broad St.) from August 4 through August 27.
