Gallery

Red 225 Gallery has closed.

November 2024 will be the last month for the Red 225 gallery.  This gallery opened in January 2023, and has been a labor of love since day one.  As much as I wish things to be differently, I no longer have the time/resources to manage the space as it properly needs.

Red 225 gallery was a not-for-profit space that solely showed work of early and mid-career artists.  While living in NYC in the early 2000’s as an Art History & Criticism student and young professional, I witnessed firsthand the difficulty for artists to land gallery exhibitions in one of the world’s art capitols.  I told myself that I would open a gallery founded on helping people cut their teeth in the art world because too much great work goes largely unseen.  And that’s a damn shame.  Some twenty years later, I was able to do this.

As a curator and gallerist, I did not take a commission.  All money made from sales went straight to the artists.  I paid for the gallery’s rent, insurance, and overhead expenses using my own funds. 

Fortunate to be in the Packing Plant, the space had a prime Wedgewood-Houston location that received generous foot traffic and support from visitors.  I have always felt welcomed and appreciated by the PP cohort, and I will miss being part of this building.  I couldn’t have asked for a better or more badass place. 

In the 22 months that Red 225 gallery was opened, it housed 16 exhibitions that in total showed the work of 113 artists stemming from nine countries and 22 US states.  It provided collaborative space for four independent curators and gallerists during three exhibitions.  It showed artwork created by people whose ages spanned teen to senior years.  It showed artwork created by people of all genders and sexual orientations.  It showed artwork created by people of all skin colors.  It showed artwork created by people of many religious and spiritual practices.  It showed artwork created by people who spoke a variety of languages.  It showed artwork created by people with disabilities and by people who are non-disabled.  It showed artwork created by people of various monetary means.  It showed artwork created by people of many educational backgrounds and degree levels. As has been stated on its website, Red 225 gallery’s aim was to be “a place of peace and ideas, and is welcome to all.”

I will continue publish interviews with area artists on the Red 225 blog—some of which will also publish concurrently with Number Inc. magazine—and curate independently.  I also hope that by closing, I am able to visit and write about more exhibitions. 

Thank you all for your support and kindness.  This gallery meant a lot to me.  I hope that my efforts made in this little space have brought some good to the world.

Exhibitions

October and November 2024: Khara Woods, Square Biz

Red 225 is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Khara Woods, titled Square Biz.

Square Biz reimagines the square, traditionally seen as rigid and uncool, as a vibrant and dynamic form. Inspired by Teena Marie’s song of the same name, the exhibition uses op-art, geometric abstract, and hard-edge paintings to explore how squares can pulse with energy and movement. Each piece transforms intersecting lines and grids into kinetic shapes, challenging perceptions and celebrating the unconventional beauty within structure. Square Biz invites viewers to see the square anew, embracing its unique potential to be bold and exciting.

Khara Woods is a multidisciplinary artist and graphic designer who lives and works in Memphis, TN. Her studio practice includes abstract geometric paintings, wood assemblage, and public art, including murals and community engagement projects. Her work has been exhibited recently at the Hillard Museum at the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, LA, Beverly + Sam Ross Gallery at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, TN, and Crosstown Arts in Memphis, TN. She has designed and installed murals and public art projects for various organizations since 2015, including the Memphis Public Library’s Cornelia Crenshaw branch (2017), Mural Arts Philadelphia (2019), and the City of Memphis’ Office of Comprehensive Planning (2023). Woods was also awarded the New Public Artists Fellowship in 2021 by UrbanArt Commission.

Square Biz will be Woods’s first solo exhibition in Nashville. It opens October 5, 2024 during Wedgewood-Houston Art Crawl from 5:00-8:00, and remains on view through the end of November.

September 2024: Anna Wise, A Nod to the Past, A Wink at the Future

Anna Wise’s solo exhibition A Nod to the Past, A Wink at the Future features work from three different series created in 2023 and 2024. This exhibition delves into the process of rediscovering one’s identity and purpose after traumatic events. Subjective yet empowering, it encourages viewers to embrace the future while also honoring the person they once were and the experiences that shape who they’re becoming.

Anna’s journey in art began at an early age. As a young adult, she designed album covers and posters for bands she performed with and other musicians across the United States. This experience inspired her to pursue art professionally in 2020. Music continues to influence her work, alongside dreams, nature, spiritual themes, and even video games.

Her work is created with layers of ink, spray paint, pastels, acrylics, and oils, and blends elements of Abstract Expressionism, illustration, Surrealism, street art. When possible, she also incorporates recycled materials to demonstrate how items of supposed discard can have value and purpose. Self-describing her work as “pretty paintings with gritty undertones,” it has been called dreamy, vibrant, and empowering. Anna explains, “I intentionally paint somewhat mysterious women in dream-like settings to invite viewers to relate and find their own stories within the artwork.”

Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Anna has been a Nashville resident since 2011. An avid animal lover and pet adoption advocate, she often donates a portion of her proceeds to Nashville-based pet rescues.

A Nod to the Past, A Wink at the Future will be on view at Red 225 gallery through the month of September with an opening reception held September 7, 2024 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. during the First Saturday Art Crawl.

August 2024: Amy Hoskins, Flavors—A Sampling of Paintings

Amy Hoskins paints expressively, figuratively, abstractly. Gifted a beginner’s set of art supplies in 1993 by coworkers as an outlet for managing chronic physical pain, Hoskins’s painting career was initiated via an art therapy avenue. Over the past 30+ years since, Hoskins has remained a self-taught artist with a myriad of inspirations, resulting in various painting series. Celebrating selections from each of them, Red 225 is pleased to present a retrospective exhibition for Hoskins titled Flavors: A Sampling of Paintings.

Flavors features work from the five series that Hoskins continues to build upon: Industrial Painting, Fragments, Vietnam: A Journey, Ready to Live, and Landscapes. Her work employs bold palettes composed of thick swaths of pigment that rely heavily upon unexpected geometry and contrasting linearity. Much of her works are mid-sized paintings measuring 22 x 28 inches, some of which began as photos taken by the artist. And while Hoskins is unafraid to showcase emotional vulnerability upon her canvases, she is intentional about masking a distinct quality of her medium: brushstrokes. As a result, Hoskins’s forms offer a distinct optical flatness that somehow both simplifies and complicates her compositions simultaneously.

Hoskins grew up in Georgia, but also lived in Washington D.C. for 15 years before relocating to Nashville. She is a published poet, as well as an advocate for the healing qualities of art.

Flavors: A Sampling of Paintings at Red 225 gallery will run from August 3-31, 2024 with a public reception held from 5:00-8:00 p.m. during Nashville’s First Saturday Art Crawl.

June and July 2024: Intimacism— 80 Women Artists Explore Topics of Intimacy

When I was in my early 20’s, I was a student in the inaugural Art Criticism and Writing MFA program at SVA in NYC.  One of the classes I took was called Artists’ Writings, a deep dive into the manifestos creatives had published throughout the course of modernity.  A class assignment required us students to invent our own “ism.”  For this project, the answer came immediately to me.  Intimacism. 

I’ve always been fascinated with subtlety and nuance.  With quiet, calm, strong connection.  With genuine trust and safety, perhaps in the presence of another.  With heightened awareness and concentration.  With fleeting moments that generate awe.  With an evoked pilomotor reflex.  With synchronicity and idiosyncrasy.  I’m fascinated by the rare discoveries of people who ride your wavelength in unison without force.  Of living solely in the instant.  No time.  No walls.  No falsehood.  Pure, absolute, uninhibited, candid expressions of truth.  For me, this is intimacy.

Reflections on intimacy tend to conjure memories of events that are personal or private.  And yes, intimacy often elicits a sexual association, yet it need not rely on sexuality to be experienced.  While I no longer have the manifesto I wrote for my assignment nearly 20 years ago, I do still hold the memory of Intimacism—an art movement that investigates, explores, recounts one’s exposure to intimacy.  It took some time, but I now too have the space in which to share an exhibition.

Intimacism is a group exhibition featuring work by 80 women artists who reside across the US and Europe.  (My Artists’ Writings professor Susan Bee has included a work as well!)  This show is curated in traditional salon style.  Because Red 225 is a petite gallery, no work may exceed 24 x 24 inches.  Otherwise, I offered artists freedom to explore this topic as their creativity wished.  My hope is to provide visitors an opportunity to slow down and allow art to be a catalyst for stillness, a conduit for tranquility while also celebrating aesthetic diversity conceived by women artists. 

Intimacism at Red 225 gallery will run from June 1- July 27, 2024 with public receptions held from 5:00-8:00 p.m. during Nashville’s First Saturday Art Crawls. 

Thank you,
Kathleen

April and May 2024: Grace Hall, Small World

Red 225 is proud to present Small World, the latest solo exhibition by Nashville-based artist Grace Hall.

Hall has been very observant lately. Having practiced introspection as grounds for her last exhibition, Hall’s newest body of work necessitated a different path where external contradictions are brought into the limelight.

 Small World presents a collection of mixed media works on panel upon which a barrage of responses towards politics, existentialism, spirituality, love and grief are materialized. Through this work, Hall has quite literally surrendered herself as a conduit for creativity; Small World demonstrates her commitment to form visual connections between seemingly unrelated subjects via acts of assemblage, painting, and deconstruction. Yet her process was one she also describes as “autopilot,” an attempt to let the work unfold on its own and thus possibly reflect aspects of her subconscious. What has resulted is an earnest, relentless effort to realize interconnectivities, to physically meld representations of conflict on the surface of a picture plane and potentially make sense of them. “The small world invites us to embrace the paradox of our existence, the simultaneous insignificance and profound significance of our lives,” stated Hall.  “It challenges us to find meaning not in the pursuit of external validation or material success, but in the connections we forge, the love we share, and the impact we have on the world around us.”

Hall is a recent graduate of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work has been shown and reviewed widely throughout Nashville and Chicago. Small World will run April 6-May 25, 2024 at the Red 225 gallery with an opening reception held during April’s First Saturday Art Crawl.

February and March 2024: Group Show, Cosa Nostra

A few years ago, curator and Number Inc. Magazine board member Jay Sanchez (also known in the Nashville art scene lovingly as “Ghost”) had an idea to organize an art show, one he hoped would be “Super Bowl-like” in its grandiosity and captivation.  This exhibition would be founded on inclusivity, as reflected by the diversity of both its artists and aesthetics—a portrayal of the rich art community that has been thriving in the South for many years.  “I wanted to incorporate artistic expression from all walks of life and give them a space to fully express their creativity. No judgment, no typical gallery guidelines,” he stated. 

After careful planning, Sanchez’s vision has come to fruition under the title Cosa Nostra.  A group exhibition whose theme focuses on the healing qualities of art, Cosa Nostra opens February 3, 2024 concurrently at the Red 225 and Rock Wall galleries in Nashville’s Wedgewood-Houston neighborhood, and in downtown Clarksville at the Lorenzo Swinton Gallery.  The show features the work of roughly 65 artists who reside primarily in the southeastern United States, and create using a broad range of technique and material.

Translating as “our thing” (as well as a reference to the mafia) in Italian, Cosa Nostra is not only an exhibition, but also the inspiration for an artist collective that Sanchez aims to develop throughout 2024.  “I felt like doing something fresh in the community, something that ignited creatives artistically, a collective of likeminded individuals that will push the boundaries beyond limits,” Sanchez explained.  “This exhibition embodies that… via ‘our thing’ we can create healing, we can inspire movements that elevate the creative community, movement that empowers society.  ‘Our thing’ will one day be a prolific element of society.”   

This exhibition also pays homage to and continues the tradition of Art of the South, a group event that Number Inc. (an independent arts journal founded in Memphis in 1987) had been organizing since 2013.  Number Inc. moved to Nashville during the Covid-19 pandemic; Cosa Nostra will be the first exhibition supported by the journal since its relocation.

A complete list of the exhibition’s participating artists is included below.  Cosa Nostra will be on view at Red 225, Rock Wall, and Lorenzo Swinton galleries from February 3-March 30, 2024 with an opening reception held from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at all gallery locations.

January 2024: Group Show, Know Thy Self, Curated by David Anderson

This Saturday January 6th, Nashville artist David Onri Anderson is curating a pop-up group exhibition during Art Crawl. Titled Know Thy Self: An International Group Show Celebrating Diversity In Figurative Work, the exhibition will feature paintings primarily from Anderson's personal collection that investigate the surreal via renderings of the human figure. Visitors will have the opportunity to engage with work created by international artists from countries such as Palestine, Ukraine, Georgia, Norway, Kurdistan, England, and across the USA. Held during a time of great political strife, an aim of this exhibition is to show how essential it is for people to come together and find solace in creative, common ground.     

November and December 2023: Claire Godbee, Soul Searching

Birmingham, Alabama-based artist Claire Godbee is unafraid of her spiritual side.  In fact, she embraces it.  “(My work) alludes to the hidden, elusive, and yet essential aspects of our being, prompting contemplation on the nature of souls and their interplay with the visible world,” Godbee stated.  Indeed, the recent paintings she has selected to share at Red 225 exude the results of such examination.  In a solo exhibition aptly titled Soul Searching, Godbee explores intersections between memory, intuition, emotion, nature, identity, and the body via paint on canvas.  Her inquiry of life’s intangible aspects inform her choices for form, thus resulting in unexpectedly bold color palettes and gently abstracted depictions of the female body, oft renderings of Godbee herself.  “Embracing feminism, inner liberation and self-discovery, my work embodies narratives about identity, friendship, and purpose. I use color to provide a playful aspect, to reminisce on childhood, and to reveal the magic that exists within us and throughout everyday life,” Godbee stated.  “It is a reminder that we are a part of nature.” 

Godbee is born and raised in Alabama. She graduated with a BFA from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2016. Her work has been exhibited in Abroms-Engel Institute for Visual Arts and Birmingham Public Library Gallery in Birmingham, AL, Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment Gallery in Huntsville, AL, Stay Home Gallery in Paris, TN and WomanMade Gallery in Chicago, IL.

Soul Searching opens November 4th at the Red 225 gallery during First Saturday Art Crawl from 6:00-9:00 p.m.  The exhibition will be on view through December 30th.    

September and October 2023: Adam Mele, Hidden Driveways

Red 225 is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Adam Mele, titled Hidden Driveways.

Self-taught Washington, D.C.-based artist Adam Mele is a fanatical painter.  The living room of his one-bedroom basement apartment (that he shares with a black and white cat called Scout) has become his studio, chock full of works in progress and completed canvases alike that lean against his sofa, adjacent to a television streaming music documentaries that keep him company while he creates.  Mele’s graphic style has elicited comparison to the likes of Keith Haring and 90’s Nickelodeon Studios via his employ of solid, bold color planes, thick linear forms, and maze-like patterns of dots and dashes; however, it is clear Mele illustrates a world of his own, one in which observation seems to be of utmost importance.  This conclusion is made in part by a motif that appears in much of his imagery—a genderless human form, its depiction restricted solely to the eyes and bridge of the nose, frequently framed in repetitious sequence similar to a film strip.  Black and white creatures suggestive of reptilian/insect hybrids are also occasional subjects of Mele’s paintings, a creation that has no conscious significance to the artist, but does remind him of prehistoric cave paintings.  “I like…how inscrutable largely forgotten religions are to modern people,” he stated.  Mele notes a number of influences that have informed his compulsion to paint—from Etruscan art to Bazooka Joe, Indonesian street art, and the Chicago Imagists. 

Having grown up in Connecticut, studied in Toronto, resided in Brooklyn, and lived in Indonesia, Mele now teaches English as a Second Language at American and Johns Hopkins universities.  He has exhibited solo shows at Rhizome in DC and Flowers for All Occasions in Brooklyn.  Hidden Driveways (a title that has no particular significance to the artist, but was selected from an ongoing list of random phrases that capture his interest) is the artist’s first exhibition in Nashville. 

Hidden Driveways is on view through October 28, 2023 at the Red 225 gallery.

August 2023: Chris Cheney, 1995—Dirt Roads Were Everything

Chris Cheney has been a staple in the Nashville arts community for many years. From the Sawtooth Print Shop, to Jackalope Brewery’s beer can designs, and Loyal Pin Co.’s enamel keepsakes, Cheney’s whimsical, inventive, colorful aesthetic is integral to the visual character of this city. In his upcoming exhibition titled 1995—Dirt Roads Were Everything, Cheney provides a body of new print work inspired by notions of home and nostalgia. 1995 reflects a stew of the artist’s memories both distant and current—experiences once fresh to a 16 year-old kid growing up in rural Minnesota, now soundbites to a middle-aged man; experiences of a person from the North who resides in the South, and the connections this envelopes; experiences of a now father commuting daily through chaos, wondering what to make of the world built for our youngest generation.

“The show is about growth, grit, determination and feeling a part of something,” stated Cheney. “The show is about fishing, and the interiors of our grandparents' garages… it’s about finding inspiration from out of nowhere. It’s about learning to ride a bike with your mom. It’s about plants—burdock, nettles and borage. It’s about finding courage, and trying to look around with open eyes. The show is about eight kids in a rust-colored Chevy Suburban with no AC. It’s also about mentors and fatherhood…The show is about my favorites. It's about heartache and loss, redemption and strength.”

1995, a year selected by Cheney for its abundance of both personal and cultural significance (dirt roads, Wu-Tang Clan, OJ Simpson trial, Indiana Pacers, being 16 years old… to name a few highlights Cheney tenderly labels as meaning “everything”), consists of prints and panels that utilize a variety of technique. Letterpress, silkscreen, and laser cutting methods provide a platform for Cheney’s illustrative storytelling, inspired largely by nineteenth-century Japanese artist Yoshitoshi. For Cheney, printmaking enables his drawings to become more energized, enlivened through color and impression.

1995—Dirt Roads Were Everything will run August 5 – 26, 2023 at the Red 225 gallery, with an opening reception held during the First Saturday Art Crawl, 6:00-9:00 p.m.

June and July 2023: William Hunter, Romantico

“Romanticism describes the way that I feel about my paintings and, hopefully, it is the response of the viewers when experiencing my work,” stated artist William Hunter whose solo exhibition Romantico is on view at the Red 225 gallery through the month of July.  Hunter’s work has been dazzling viewers since the 1970s via lush, large-scale paintings that amorously capture the likenesses of loved ones and public figures.  At times, Hunter’s work appears to be founded on contrast: deep, saturated hues dance a light and dark interplay as they render form; realist features are brought to the forefront by soft, background abstraction; contemporary subjects are depicted in environs that somehow seem to be highjacked from history.  Such aesthetic choices recall elements of nineteenth century art movements like Art Nouveau and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood—images of emotional elegance.

Hunter is a native of Wilson County, TN, but resided in New York City for thirty years (1970s-2000s) before returning once again to Watertown where he continues to call home.  While living in NYC, his art career flourished.  Some of the world’s most notable public figures have collected Hunter’s work: Barbara Streisand, Cher, Madonna, Tennessee Williams, Carol Kane, Harvey Keitel, Woody Harrelson, Sean Penn, Kurt Vonnegut, Andy Warhol… to name a few.  Red 225 is absolutely honored and humbled to share Hunter’s work through the exhibition Romantico.  We invite you to join us in celebration with the artist and curator Jay Sanchez on June 3rd from 6:00-9:00 p.m. during First Saturday Art Crawl.

In the Press—Nashville Scene: Three Exhibitions at the Packing Plant Reveal the Past, Point to the Future

May 2023: Kevan O’Connor, Clumsy

Red 225 is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Kevan O’Connor, titled Clumsy, opening May 6, 2023 during the Wedgewood-Houston First Saturday Art Crawl.

The exhibit is best explained in O’Connor’s own words via an artist statement and bio, shared below.

“My act of painting is a dialogue on the healing spectrum of creation and connection. The interaction with the canvas centers around the problem of articulation; how so much that our bodies synthesize feels out of reach with limited, verbal language. Drawing and moving color around I sit patiently on the floor, holding hands with the Present-Tense -- allowing the tensions that arrive to have space and agency and voice. Exploring this fragile space, wholly engaged, until wonder may appear.

Clumsy is a body of work about stumbling earnestly towards this pronounced connectedness.

I use pencils and pastels, brooms and the handles of broken wooden tools, I finger paint with mediums until textures and contrasts form a deep harmony, I use ruined paint brushes to create marks I couldn't intentionally make, until a structure of understanding and deep compassion arises on the canvas, and then I stop.

Kevan Joseph O’Connor (b. 1988) is a painter who lives and works in Nashville, Tennessee. He creates meditative, gestural abstract images, made with a tactile immediacy. Visually striking interactions of exaggerated and desperate color studies build richly textured compositions. 

After earning his BA in writing and creative literature in 2011, he returned to his passion for visual art, determinedly seeking a non-verbal way to articulate experience and awareness. Referred to as “visual poems”, his work plays with prelinguistic communication as a means of reconciling memory and empathy along a healing path towards compassion.”

Clumsy will run May 6 – 27, 2023.

April 2023: Bryan Jones, Camoufleur

Red 225 is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Bryan Jones, titled Camoufleur, opening April 1, 2023 during the Wedgewood-Houston First Saturday Art Crawl.

Artist Bryan Jones began his painting career in the early-2000’s with a series of work that explores abstract realism.  His highly-detailed images of still life arrangements made from wax, fabric, and cosmetics combine figural elements inspired by Peter Paul Reubens and the rococo, while also enveloping a critical inquiry of abstraction’s sensory effect(s).  Jones’s keen eye and hand articulate unexpected observations, contradictory forms that exist both artificially and in actuality, intentionally created to evoke visceral viewer responses. Beautifully gruesome, these paintings poke at textural memory via their organic matter likenesses.   

More recently, Jones’s oil paintings have evolved to also include the process of montage.  While he continues to investigate the space between, and overlap of, abstraction and reality, Jones’s work unpacks the conventions of landscape painting.  His labor-intensive process first combines original nature photographs with appropriated image fragments in collage compositions.  Jones then creates a painting of this image, but adds multidimensional complexity to the work through the act of layering.  With the aid of painter’s tape, Jones blends a number of nature collage paintings onto a single surface, interweaving their forms in an effort to simultaneously synthesize and disband their common ground.  What results are paintings that reference nature’s familiarity despite the conclusion that such images exist in paint.  The exhibition’s title Camoufleur acknowledges the concept of camouflage that is referenced in Jones’s work, while also paying homage to artists who created these concealment textiles during the First World War.  

Jones holds a B.F.A. in Painting from the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, and a M.A. in Museum Studies from Johns Hopkins University.  He currently lives outside of Nashville amidst the forest of Kingston Springs, TN, surrounded by the environment that maintains his steadfast inspiration.

Camoufleur will run April 1 – 29, 2023 at the Red 225 gallery.

March 2023: Lauren Markham

Artist Lauren Markham is magic. She is one of those very rare people who lights up a room even when being modest; who handles challenges with grace; who bravely pursues her talents; who is genuinely kind; who is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

Markham and I met while working together at the CMHOF where she was a Senior Graphic Designer before leaving to reconnect with her love of painting during the Covid pandemic. Her knowledge of color is one of the most keen I have ever observed. Many of Markham’s paintings are realist portraits of her loved ones—fiancé Ryan, dear friend Kristen (both of whom are impressive musicians), firecracker dachshund Danke— composed of exquisitely vibrant palettes, and often adorned with geometric ornamentation. Such dynamic aesthetic is no doubt reflective of Markham’s elegant character, integrity, and talent. 

Markham’s premier solo exhibition at Red 225 gallery will feature a selection of these portraits in addition to a series of small still life paintings, and a variety of giclée prints, many of which render unexpected floral arrangements. During the exhibition’s opening event, her fiancé Ryan Knaack is scheduled to perform a solo acoustic set amongst the paintings that celebrate both his talents and the love shared between the couple. The opening will take place during WeHo’s First Saturday Art Crawl, March 4th from 6:00-9:00 p.m. We hope to see you there.
