Several OCAG members are featured in a new exhibition at FRANK Gallery in Carrboro. It’s on view now through June 27 and features member artists Peg Bachenheimer, Elijah Kell and Carol Retsch-Bogart, as well as guest artists Sasha Bakaric and Clarke Munford. The opening reception is tomorrow, Friday, May 22, from 6–9 p.m.
From FRANK:
“Elijah Kell creates luminous glass sculptures that capture light, color, and movement while balancing fragility with strength. Crafted piece by piece and layer by layer, his work transforms flat sheets of glass into fluid sculptural forms inspired by gemstones, florals, and the natural elements. Through vivid color, rich texture, and carefully shaped form, Elijah’s work explores the relationship between imagination, process, and presence.
“Carol Retsch-Bogart creates richly layered works that combine collage, textiles, printmaking, and found materials into intuitive compositions full of texture and narrative. Her striking vertical panels, inspired by the idea of a totem, unfold story and symbolism layer by layer, while her sculptural works continue that same spirit of curiosity and exploration across materials and form.
“Peg Bachenheimer’s newest series began intuitively, but gradually evolved into beautiful luminous landscapes, paintings that create space for light, distance, and reflection during chaotic times. Inspired by nature and guided by instinct, Peg’s work offers moments of calm and quiet expansiveness.”
