CHASHAMA 461 GALLERY is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new paintings by resident artist, Lisa Ingram. "Visual Conversations" explores the patterns, rhythms, and dynamics of speech, music, and daily activities. Ingram's interest in these elements of sound heightened when her longtime collaborator and husband, the composer Jay Alan Zimmerman, became deaf.
The exhibition features a 20 foot installation of watercolors—covering the east wall of the gallery—as well as several oil paintings. Each work explores sound through various nuances of color, pattern. and shape, and shows a playful exuberance through bright pigments and textural layering.
The opening reception will embrace this playful perspective with a party atmosphere of drinks, food, and music. At 8pm, Mr. Zimmerman will premiere his new 20-minute musical film, EVIL EYE — a vibrant adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell Tale Heart" with integrated captions for the deaf and hard-of-hearing.
