About this Event
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 29, 1 to 3 PM
The Crown Gallery at Metro Arts Studios is proud to present Twist and Shout, an exhibit that features six artists whose figures bend, twist, and fracture – communicating what words cannot. Rooted in Expressionism, the exhibition moves fluidly between abstraction and figuration, where grotesque caricature and distortion are a visual shorthand for emotion, tension, and identity. As artists – Alex Ceppi, John Guzman, Louisa Pancoast, Melissa Stern, Yue Yuan, and Tamsen Williams – echo the prevailing mood and emotional state of our nation, curator Ellen Hawley helps bring these expressions into a broader conversation. Some works lean into dark humor, while others are raw and gritty, but together they explore movement, resilience and the expressive potential of the human figure.
The exhibit runs from March 29 to April 25, 2026.
Gallery hours: Thursday through Saturday, 12 to 4 PM and by appointment.
