Resolving Shadows

In the light of a great loss, Tarun Bali explores figures, portraits, and most importantly, life in a show that spans more than a 100 pieces. The subjects in his works rise from the shadows hunting for the highlights to find their form. The works in this show mirror the current phase of his life: Some do so explicitly, some do it subtly, some seem intentionally disconnected from it. And much like life today, there is a sense of uncontrolled chaos to it all.

Husks — Michael Laurito

“Husks” is an exhibition of cast collagraph prints by Michael Laurito. By using handmade paper and textural plates to make low-relief prints, Laurito explores the boundaries between evolution and decay. The predators, parasites, and prey are drawn using lines and texture to convey their flesh. The creatures are within the depths or hanging in the market, covered in discarded skin and paper pulp.

ReVision: Christina A. West

Christina A. West is an artist who uses sculpture, video, and photography to focus on the male body. West earned her MFA from Alfred University (Alfred, NY) in 2006 and BFA from Siena Heights University (Adrian, MI) in 2003. After living in Atlanta for thirteen years where she taught at Georgia State University, West relocated back to the Midwest in 2022 where she is an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She has extensively exhibited her work across the country in venues such as the Mattress Factory (Pittsburgh), The Everson Museum of Art (Syracuse), Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center (Buffalo), the American Museum of Ceramic Art (Pomona, CA), and Atlanta Contemporary.

Her work has been supported by grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Virginia Groot Foundation, the Puffin Foundation, and she has participated in residencies at The Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, The Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts, The Vermont Studio Center, The Clay Studio of Philadelphia, and the Center for Contemporary Ceramics at Cal State Long Beach.

ReVision is a solo exhibition by Madison-based artist Christina A. West that brings together the many facets of her multimedia studio practice into an evolving installation that will be altered by the artist throughout the duration of the exhibition. Featuring sculpture, video, photography, and drawing, the exhibition centers the male body as a lens through which to reconsider the histories, power dynamics, and cultural expectations embedded in the act of looking. The title ReVision reflects West’s commitment to “looking again”—to revising, adapting, and reimagining. Her works revisit art historical representations of the body, from the pietà to Muybridge’s motion studies to iconic classical forms like the Discus Thrower, reframing them through contemporary questions of gaze and embodiment.

This approach mirrors her studio process itself: a generative practice built on creating numerous parts and experimenting with endless ways they might interact. By translating this open-ended method into the gallery, West preserves the sense of possibility and flux that animates her studio. The installation’s lack of fixedness echoes the shifting, multifaceted nature of our own embodied experiences—how our perspectives evolve, how meaning accumulates, and how looking is never neutral, but always in motion.

PLAYLIST: A juried exhibition inspired by song

PLAYLIST is a juried fine art showcase where music meets visual magic. Each artist has created a piece sparked by a single beloved song — translating sound into color, rhythm into form and melody into mood. During the opening, we’ll spin a curated playlist of the exact inspiration tracks, so you can hear what the artists saw. This special exhibition debuts during Gallery Night MKE, complete with complimentary snacks, wine and other beverages for a lively, welcoming opening reception. Come see what happens when

“Bronze Bunnies” – works by Carol Cauldwell

Join us Winter Gallery Night for the opening of our featured exhibition “Bronze Bunnies” with works by South African artist Carol Cauldwell. Over the years, Carol Cauldwell has developed a global following for her whimsical sculptures that appeal to the nostalgic yearning in us all for a more innocent world in which dreams come true. Carol enjoys pushing the boundaries to the limits in terms of design and materials, and the style of her artworks has been described as ‘Magic Realism’. These sculptures were lent to Small Works in partnership with The Melrose Gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa.
