Drawing Rooms presents two exhibitions in both The Terrarium Gallery: “Color, Shape, Line: Six Degrees of Separation between Andrew Zimmerman, Fran Shalom and Jesse Hickman” and in The Alcove Gallery: “Annabelle Mona: Flowers are Surrounded by Invisible Electric Halos”.
“Color, Shape, Line: Six Degrees of Separation between Andrew Zimmerman, Fran Shalom and Jesse Hickman” is an exhibition featuring three artists working in drawing, painting and sculpture, whose work is connected through similar sensibilities and a love and exploration in formal qualities of color, shape and line in a playful and handmade way. The artists are very active on social media and had been following one another because they also saw the connection between their work, but had never met or shown together in real life until now. Their work is sort of like motion particle theory– tangentially related, but each standing on their own.
“Flowers are Surrounded by Invisible Electric Halos: New Paintings by Annabelle Mona” is the artist’s first solo exhibition since her recent MFA graduation from SUNY Albany 5/24. Annabelle’s painting is colorful and fun, perhaps even groovy, with a late 60s/70’s Peter Max vibe. According to Annabelle, her work “examines our sensory and linguistic relationship to the natural world through compositional and material exploration”.

From a Tree Grows a Forest: Honoring Professor and Artist, Edward S. Eberle
featurings former students Graham Marks, Greg Kwiatek, James Pustorino, Denise Suska Green, Scott Vradelis, Ian Thomas and a video by his son, JPC Eberle. Works include functional and sculptural ceramics, drawing, and painting.
See the Exhibit Checklist HERE
Edward S. Eberle (10/03/1944 - 09/26/2023), taught fundamentals of studio art and ceramics at the Philadelphia College of Art from 1972-75, and Carnegie Mellon University from 1975-1985. His inclusive mentorship style gained a large following of students. In 1985, he left teaching to pursue a full time fine art studio practice, and within a few years received acclaim for solo exhibitions across the country. Eberle’s ceramic works are celebrated in numerous private and museum collections internationally, including the: National Gallery of Australia, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art and Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Eberle’s distinctive style of drawing on ceramics extended to works on paper – many rarely seen drawings will be included in this exhibit. The show features works by former students, Graham Marks, Greg Kwiatek, James Pustorino, Denise Suska Green, Scott Vradelis, Ian Thomas who were inspired by Eberle and went on to create their own studio practice and art careers. Eberle’s process of “Throwing a Drawing” is captured in the video by his son, JPC Eberle.

PE Pinkman: Neither Here and There
featuring over 130 drawings from his series, "100 Days of a Pandemic" and "Not Who You See(m)"
PE Pinkman’s drawing series, “100 Days of a Pandemic” uses repetitive images of the artist to explore themes of love, loss, politics, and the passage of time.
In works from “Not who you see(m)”, Pinkman depicts himself in different stages of life, from his youth to his old age, utilizing these images to highlight the constantly evolving nature of both internal and external identity. His large-scale paintings layer images and shapes creating suggestive narratives based on interpersonal experiences. Through his work, Pinkman questions the nature of people’s perceptions of themselves. His artistic focus has been shaped and refined by his experience of coming out as a gay man and navigating the politics and personal experiences of the latter half of the 20th and early 21st centuries. His work reflects his responses and insights to that struggle. The AIDS epidemic and the COVID pandemic’s isolation taught him to see through tragedy, to seek where the truth may lie.
