Stimulating Rhythms: Rolph Scarlett - Paintings and Jewelry
October 7, 2021 - November 12, 2021
The exhibition features oil paintings, works on paper, and jewelry by the artist from the 1930s through the 1970s.The paintings and works on paper focus primarily on the artist’s Geometric Abstractions executed from the 1930s to the 1960s. In the 1960s, the artist turned to creating jewelry in the American Modernist tradition, working primarily with silver and agates. His pieces were constructed freely without sketches as they evolved in his mind, and each one was a unique sculptural entity.
Most of the works in this exhibition were acquired directly from the artist by a private collector in Massachusetts; this is the first time they are being shown publicly.

The paintings of self-taught artist Queena Stovall are deeply personal reflections of her life and experiences as a self-professed “country woman” in rural Virginia.
