"UNCOMMON"

Featuring recent works by
Ralph Bucci FSC, Elizabeth Lamondy,
Manjula Padmanabhan, and Bill Reis

July 5 - 27, 2025

Brother Ralph Bucci FSC tells us that the pieces in this show “focus on extenuated forms and shapes and their silhouetted lines and surface texture, both actual and visual. These intermingling elements continue to evolve and inspire wonder for me and, I hope, in the viewer, as we examine the pieces as bold monuments and as remnant artifacts. The net effect is a sense of ambiguity and wonder, where shape, color, and texture touch our collective unconscious. The work reflects the strength of earthy materials that form our human-made world.” Bucci wonders about their scale: “are they miniature, monumental, artifactual?” He also wonders about the purpose of their presence and how they affect our souls.
Elizabeth Lamondy says that she is an artist who specializes in 2D, mixed media wall sculptures. In the pieces displayed in this show, she uses an array of different surfaces and materials that move and mold areas of the sculpture; bringing forms to a more extravagant, colorful, and bold line, now creating 3D effects. “I mix together unique components I never thought I'd use in sculpting; producing a texture and a movement that seems to capture and enchant my audience, leaving an everlasting impression.”
Manjula Padmanabhan is an artist, illustrator and author. “I like working in a range of different media. For this show, I’ve chosen ink-on-paper drawings that I’ve never exhibited before, though I made them more than 20 years ago. Alongside them are very recent mono prints made with soft lino blocks. I love experimenting with lino block printing: combining small familiar shapes to make larger and more complex images. Very satisfying.”
According to Bill Reis, “My work is a collection of constructions that incorporate sculptural elements and painted surfaces. The work combines the application of mixed media and wood objects. I assemble the shapes in concert with painted areas to create a dynamic tension between opposing forces. I have been inspired generally by architecture, archaeological elements and industrial wear and tear.”
