SUMMARY:Gretchen Durst Jacobs: What the Body Carries
DESCRIPTION:Gretchen Durst Jacobs: What the Body Carries\nFebruary 4 – 28\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: February 4\, 6 – 8 pm \nClosing Reception: February 28\, 4 – 6 pm \n  \nGretchen Durst Jacobs: What the Body Carries features new work from the Dayton-based artist. These encaustic monotypes\, which merge painting with printmaking\, emanate from the body\, using gesture\, scale\, and repetition to explore how experience is physically and emotionally carried. Her abstract compositions balance intuition and structure\, with grids often acting as quiet frameworks that hold movement\, memory\, and sensation in tension. Each encaustic monotype\, created through a process that uses hot wax and pigment transferred onto a surface\, is unique\, and invites viewers to contemplate how feeling takes shape through mark\, color\, and rhythm. \nArtist Statement \nMy paintings and prints begin with the body. Rooted in somatic experience and attentive to the inner life\, the work explores how feeling is carried\, processed\, and transformed through physical gesture. I often work at a scale that matches my full reach—fingertip to fingertip—so each mark records movement\, presence\, and intuition. At times a grid enters the work as a quiet stabilizing force\, allowing chaos\, memory\, and motion to coexist within a shared structure. \nAlthough abstract\, the work is grounded in more than twenty-five years of painting from direct observation. What has long drawn me to the landscape is how closely it mirrors human experience—its resilience and adaptation\, its tenderness\, and its moments of tension. Through color\, gesture\, and layered marks\, I move through lived experience as a continuum\, allowing feeling to take shape. Each work is an attempt to reconcile emotion with form\, to honor what we carry\, and to give shape to what cannot always be spoken. \nAll artworks in this exhibition are available for purchase. Please visit the reception desk or speak to a Staff member to purchase. Proceeds support both the artist and The Contemporary Dayton’s mission to connect artists and audiences through accessible\, engaging contemporary art experiences. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artist\n \nGretchen Durst Jacobs creates abstract paintings and prints\, often utilizing a grid and bold\, gestural marks to explore our relationship with the self and the natural world. She received her MFA from the University of Cincinnati in 2008 and her BFA from Wright State University in 2000. She attended the New York Studio School for Drawing and Painting Marathons and Summer Sessions in 2000 and 2003. In 2024\, she received the Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District Individual Artist Grant. \nHer work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Internationally. Regional exhibitions include the Dayton Museum of Art; Manifest Gallery\, Cincinnati\, OH; Dana L. Wiley Gallery\, Dayton\, OH; University of Cincinnati\, Cincinnati\, OH; the Morgan Conservatory\, Cleveland\, OH; and Ohio Northern University\, Ada\, OH. Her international exhibitions include the Lambton Heritage Museum\, Ontario\, Canada; Alten Feuerwache Loschwitz and Grafikwerkstatt\, Dresden\, Germany; and the Dayton/Kyoto Print Exchange\, Kyoto\, Japan. She has permanent public art installations on view at the Dayton Metro Library and the Kettering Government Center. \nShe is represented by the Dana L. Wiley Gallery.

SUMMARY:Sandra Aska\, Andy Holliday\, & Paul Rienzo Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present works by Sandra Aska\, Andy Holliday\, and Paul Rienzo in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery and Works on Paper Gallery. Capturing moments of perplexity\, quirkiness\, thoughtfulness\, and beauty\, Aska gives clay life through her figurative sculptures. Toolmarks and fingerprints left in the works imbue an expressionistic looseness to the forms. She works intuitively by allowing each form to emerge from the clay and invites the viewer to offer their own interpretation. Holliday’s non-representational prints stem from images that are observed\, recorded\, and repeatedly reprocessed through systems to alter them. Exploring the idea of attention as a measure of value\, he gathers an archive of media to process\, builds complexity\, and subsequently creates the final work through traditional printmaking techniques. Rienzo’s photorealistic still life paintings explore archetypal themes found across cultures and historical periods. The depicted objects are laden with symbolic power and when combined with others from differing cultures and eras\, explore the idea of untold myths and interconnectivity. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on February 20\, 2026\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from February 10 – March 13\, 2026. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays. Free and accessible parking is located in Parking Lot K.

SUMMARY:Sandra Aska\, Andy Holliday\, & Paul Rienzo Exhibits
DESCRIPTION:The Sinclair Community College Art Department is pleased to present works by Sandra Aska\, Andy Holliday\, and Paul Rienzo in the Burnell R. Roberts Triangle Gallery and Works on Paper Gallery. Capturing moments of perplexity\, quirkiness\, thoughtfulness\, and beauty\, Aska gives clay life through her figurative sculptures. Toolmarks and fingerprints left in the works imbue an expressionistic looseness to the forms. She works intuitively by allowing each form to emerge from the clay and invites the viewer to offer their own interpretation. Holliday’s non-representational prints stem from images that are observed\, recorded\, and repeatedly reprocessed through systems to alter them. Exploring the idea of attention as a measure of value\, he gathers an archive of media to process\, builds complexity\, and subsequently creates the final work through traditional printmaking techniques. Rienzo’s photorealistic still life paintings explore archetypal themes found across cultures and historical periods. The depicted objects are laden with symbolic power and when combined with others from differing cultures and eras\, explore the idea of untold myths and interconnectivity. There will be a virtual artist talk via Zoom on February 20\, 2026\, at 12pm. Visit www.sinclair.edu/artgalleries for details. The exhibitions will be on display from February 10 – March 13\, 2026. Galleries are located on the fourth floor of building 13 (located at West Fifth and Perry Streets). The galleries are free and open to the public from 8am–6pm Monday–Friday and 9am–12pm Saturdays. Free and accessible parking is located in Parking Lot K.
