About the exhibition:

Upon viewing Winter’s Poem for Spring, you are visiting a group of paintings by Scott Vradelis that came to him as a visual poem. For Scott, painting can sometimes be congruent with poetry. A quiet, nearly hidden form of story-telling. A passing of information that gently asks the viewer, “consider it this way”. Winter’s Poem for Spring invites you to give a moment or two to enjoy the light of a room, consider the relationship of the forms between themselves and you, take note of how you respond to them, and to engage in a bit of quiet meditation before you go on your way.

A Winter’s Poem for Spring will be on view in Gallery 2 beginning March 9th, and will be available as a video walkthrough shortly after. Join us at Da Vinci Art Alliance for the opening reception on March 10th from 12-7pm.
