Aarhus Gallery is pleased to feature the established and prolific, bold experimentalist Stew Henderson as their first guest artist of the summer season. The show will run from July 1st through the 20th, with an opening reception on Friday July 4th from 5-8pm. Stew will be debuting works from his colorful Graphica series, as well as the engaging muted Corplast assemblages.

In addition, Stew will be giving a talk about his work on Tuesday July 8th, at 7:00pm.

The Graphica series started as a material driven idea; Large scale, commercial castoff rolls of Moss paper, previously printed with images of corporate logos, advertisements, and other designs, are rolled out on the studio floor, cut into sections and painted or printed with linoleum blocks. The result, he explains, "displays a tangible middle space between my crude hand work and the highly polished imagery produced by a computer driven press".

Stew Henderson has been exhibiting his artwork since 1977. He has had numerous one-person exhibits throughout Maine including; Waterfall Arts in Belfast, Icon Gallery in Brunswick, Caldbeck Gallery and the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland.

The work of Kevin Johnson, Mark Kelly, Annadeene Konesni, Richard Mann, Wesley Reddick and Willy Reddick will also be.
