Devening Projects is very pleased to invite you to Cody Tumblin’s second solo exhibition with the gallery and Kevin McNamee-Tweed’s first. Both artists bring fresh approaches to abstraction and narrative painting traditions. Producing assembled and dyed canvasses (Tumblin) and whimsical glazed ceramic works (McNamee-Tweed), we see in this work, a shared exuberance for the sheer pleasure of invention and making. Please join us for a reception for the artists on Sunday, January 13 from 4-7pm.
