John K Lawson
Dancing on Gilded Splinters |
|
Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, John Lawson’s monumental 45-foot beaded mural, Garden of Unearthly Delights, was commissioned in 1999 for the Audubon Hotel in New Orleans. It was exhibited at Baltimore’s American Visionary Art Museum before being damaged during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the storm, this exhibition showcases the artist’s meticulous restoration process. On display are the original mural panels, recovered from storage in Texas, alongside intricate drawings and associated sculptures and wall pieces made from Madri Gras beads. SEE THE PROCESS |

GREGORY ROGERS
Finding a Way: Paintings and Drawings |
|
Gregory S. Rogers is an independent painter based in Boston, Massachusetts, whose practice is deeply intertwined with his lived experience and his unique spatial environment. Born without arms (amelia and phocomelia), Rogers paints exclusively with his feet—a methodology that informs his distinct perspective in a world constructed for "handedness." He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2000, studying under Professor Kofi Kayiga. While his early career focused on traditional still lifes, his work has evolved into a profound exploration of abstract expressionism and mixed media.
Working from his studio loft in the historic Walter Baker Administration Building in Dorchester, Rogers navigates the significant physical challenges posed by severe scoliosis by using his workspace as a fluid, immersive ecosystem for creation, reflection, and physical rest. His oil paintings serve as a non-judgmental language, translating the complex, layered emotions of navigating societal reactions and physical constraints into a visual theory of form and color. Rogers is a regular exhibitor at prominent regional art events, including the Paradise City Arts Festivals and the New England Visionary Artists Museum. |

and A Magical Gathering:
|
Always a surprising walk through a forest of art. NEVAmuseum was founded on the conviction that important artistic voices frequently emerge outside traditional academic, commercial, and institutional pathways. The selection on exhibit demonstrates its intent to preserve, celebrate, exhibit, and support visionary, self-taught artists and to integrate them in the context of professional art.
