E&H Hosts Ost and Galiano Exhibition

January 21, 2024

Two artists inspired by each other’s narratives present an exhibition of their works at Emory & Henry College, Emory, Virginia, from Feb. 24 to March 9.

Beatrix Ost and Michelle Galiano present works that engage in a “call and response” akin to jazz music, a dialogue they enhance through an Artalk scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Feb. 12, in the Kennedy-Reedy Theatre of the McGlothlin Center for the Arts.

The exhibition, which will be displayed in the McGlothlin Center Art Gallery, reveals a collaboration yielding many works and combining several materials, including oil paint, pigments, solvents and gessoes.

The artists consciously address the scarcity of female artist collaborations in recent decades and eagerly engage in a conversation through the shared canvas and their individual pieces.

Ost’s profound worlds exploring the human condition intersect with Galiano’s abstracted landscapes evoking a sense of place and displacement. Together their narratives forge a path where abstract meets surrealism, fostering a connection on the canvas.

The exhibition and the Artalk are free and open to the public. The McGlothlin Center Gallery is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
