Canal Street Art Gallery presents: Kathleen Zimmerman Solo Spotlight, on view from August 18th through October 14th. Join the Gallery on 3rd Friday Gallery Night in Historic Downtown Bellows Falls from 5-7pm, August 18th, to celebrate the opening of the show. All Gallery events are free and open to the public. 

Kathleen Zimmerman shows new serigraph prints on paper in Canal Street Art Gallery’s Solo Spotlight exhibit. Entitled Look To nature | Up Close and Personal, all the artwork in this exhibition takes a close up and/or personal look at some of the living creatures that we share the planet with. The artist works in series and pairs creating mythical and surreal characters, both human and animal. These figures interact within harmonious shapes and lines, and explore titles such as Block-head Series and Star Series. Serigraphy, commonly known as silk screen printing, is a modern printmaking mode with a very old history. Its origins can be traced to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in China and made its appearance in Europe in the 18th century. It is a stencil-based printing process that has been used widely for commercial purposes but has evolved over time so that it can be used to make fine art.

“My art is the way I explore ideas concerning both day-to-day life as well as more profound ideas surrounding relationships, the environment and culture. It is a meditative practice of sorts that helps me stop and think about life. Over the years, I have developed a personal visual language that uses symbolism and surrealism to transform my subject matter into archetypal images.” -Kathleen Zimmerman
