Foundry Gallery is pleased to announce our newest exhibition featuring the work of our three new members entitled: New Member Artist Spotlight. This group exhibition will present works of four new members who joined the gallery this year. These artists offer a distinct and thoughtful approach to the gallery’s visual practice. These works range from intricate pattern works, mixed media works and fine art works.
The exhibition includes Bart Dluhy, an artist that creates intricate patterned works on wood panel that explore the relationship between structure, rhythm, and emotion through the repeated use of lines and circles. Using bold, saturated colors and carefully layered geometric forms, he builds compositions that balance precision with movement and visual energy. Each work emerges through a meditative process of repetition, where intersecting lines and expanding circles suggest echoes, maps, vibrations, and interconnected living systems.
The next featured artist, Luisa Zanforlin, creates paintings that explore moods, memory, and the emotional relationships between people and their environments. Her work focuses on moments of connection and disconnection, capturing fleeting encounters and intimate experiences that linger in the mind long after they have passed. Through dynamic gestures and expressive compositions, she seeks to create paintings that invite an embodied emotional response rather than simply depict a scene or narrative.
Also featured is, Deborah Maklowski, who creates mixed media works that combine beads, acrylic, paint, and layered materials to explore both representational and abstract interpretations of the landscape. Inspired by natural forms, shifting environments, and landscape-based motifs, her work transforms familiar scenery into richly textured visual experiences that invite contemplation and personal interpretation.
Completing the exhibition is Susanne Kamalieh, an artist who creates layered works that combine luminous skyscapes with intricate line patterns to explore the relationship between atmosphere, movement, and human perception. Her paintings begin with expansive skies that evoke openness, transition, and emotional depth. These atmospheric backgrounds become the foundation for delicate networks of layered lines that move across the surface like currents, pathways, or unseen energies.
Together, these four artists present a cohesive yet varied exhibition that highlights experimentation, conceptual rigor, and diverse modes of visual expression.
We would like you to join us in welcoming these new artists and celebrate them and their work. Stop by the Opening Reception for an opportunity to engage with the artist during the exhibition and meet the artists in a gallery setting.
