A solo exhibition by Detoit-based artist Adrian Hatfield addressing his anxiety about our current environmental crisis.
About this Event

Adrian Hatfield makes work addressing his anxiety about our current environmental crisis, balanced by hope that humanity can rise to meet the challenge.
The paintings convey those experiences in tension: dread, splendor, joy, terror, wonder and the absurdity
of human inaction. Their iconography samples and ?recombines elements from art history, scientific
illustration, pop culture and satire, with a goal of
existing somewhere between a requiem, a science
fiction fever dream, and a call-to-arms.

Closing Reception:
Saturday, August 31, 6-8:30 p.m.
