Beauty in chaos

The Toledo City Paper depends on readers like you! Become a friend today. See membership options

LeSo Gallery continues to knock it out of the park this year. The gallery may be young, but its exhibits are consistently full of gorgeous work by talented artists. Their latest, Persistence, showcases the work of two artists who find beauty through expression in the absence of form. Featured artist Laura Makar puts pencil to paper and gives birth to deeply textured, achromatic images made out of minuscule shapes. At the same show, painter Matt Wolcott’s work jumps out of the frame in explosions of brilliant color. No wonder he calls himself a “pop expressionist.” Free. Opening reception on Friday, May 25 at 7pm. LeSo Gallery, 1527 Starr Ave. www.lesogallery.com. This exhibit will run until Saturday, June 8, with artist talks at a closing reception from 7-9pm. —JS
