Mixed-media artist GAVIN SEWELL specializes in contemplative, large-scale collages and intricate wall-sculptures. Often exploring themes of history and time, Sewell’s works can be seen as contemporary takes on mandalas, icons, memory gardens, or totem poles – thought provoking objects in which viewers may find reflective calm or personal insight in the face of deep complexity.
|
|
Sewell’s paradoxical experience as a vision-impaired painter makes him particularly sensitive to the ambiguous, the marginal, and the different. Conceptually his work suggests the inter-connectedness of seemingly different things and communities, while aesthetically the work favors rich surfaces that invite the human touch and ask us to ‘see’ them with our hands as well as with our eyes.
These meticulously crafted and durable works are best appreciated over long periods of time, where their interplay of storytelling and hypnotic suggestion invite viewers to imagine their own narratives of the coincidental, the sublime, and the hopeful.

‘Classroom on Wheels’ Teaches Woodworking Skills to Young People
Margery Goldberg, Zenith’s director, said the goal of the Woodshop is “to get people jobs.” Goldberg is an artist, wood sculptor and longtime member of the D.C. art community. She had long dreamed of creating a mobile woodshop to assist students. That dream finally came true in 2020, when the city gave her a large grant for the program.

From power tools in his hands to a paintbrush, that's the change that took over artist Robert C. Jackson's life when he went from a 10-year career as an electrical engineer to an award-winning published artist. His creative work is on display at Zenith Gallery in Northwest D.C. and FOX 5's Gwen Tolbart stopped by the exhibit to share it all with us.
