A Spectrum of Artistic Visions: Solo Shows and 'Shades of Gray' at TAG Gallery

Call for Artists: "Made in the USA: Comics to Counterculture"

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, May 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This May and June, The Artists Gallery (TAG) presents a vibrant array of contemporary art with solo exhibitions by Susan Dukow, David Lang, Sally Jacobs, Shelley Lazarus, Mel Smothers, and Judy Zimbert. These exhibitions showcase diverse styles, from history painting and botanical watercolors to abstract expressions and captured journeys.

Alongside these solo presentations, TAG Artists proudly present "Shades of Gray," a group exhibition featuring photography and works in graphite or charcoal and paint that broadly interpret the theme.

Exhibition Dates: Wednesday, May 21 – Friday, June 13, 2025

Gallery Reception: Saturday, May 24, 5 – 8 pm

• Sally Jacobs: "I'm a botanical watercolor artist -- with my art I hope to reveal the beauty of flowers, fruits and vegetables... to unveil the beauty of the whole and the intricate patterns and details that can give viewers a new appreciation of what they may have taken for granted."

• David Lang: "'Journeys' chronicles three specific areas of my life experience; Japan, France, and the U.S. Pacific Northwest... I hope that in viewing my art you will also find a connection to that which connects with me."

• Shelley Lazarus: "The process for me is always a very exciting trip... Watching the mixed colors blend, the happenings on the paper and the surprises and satisfaction I feel in this world I have created... my first and true love has always been watercolor."

• Mel Smothers: "I’m influenced by painters throughout art history who painted the truth in the face of greed, power and disinformation. I’m endeavoring to throw my brush into history painting."

• Susan Dukow: "Recently, I was encouraged to concentrate on my painting, allowing my love of collage to take a back seat... I find yet new passages of discovery and wonderment… of art and self... to discover what had been buried for so long deep inside of me."

• Judy Zimbert: "I have spent most of the last twenty-plus years in my studio... the tone of the work, the mark-making, as such, doesn’t change that much. It juxtaposes differently, assumes more complex positions in space and shows new colors."

TAG Gallery invites the public to experience these diverse and captivating exhibitions. All exhibitions and receptions are free. For more information, please visit www.taggallery.net or contact gallery@taggallery.net.
