Size Matters

During January the George Adams Gallery presents an exhibition of gallery artists Robert Arneson, James Barsness, Roy DeForest, Lesley Dill, Michael Ferris, Jr., Amer Kobaslija, Lino Lago, and Andrew Lenaghan.  Titled "Size Matters," the exhibition explores the way each artist responds to shifts in scale, with the main gallery devoted to large paintings, drawings, and sculptures and small work by the same artists on view in the drawing gallery.
