Call and Response

Call and Response at the New Hampshire Art Association, Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery

On June 3, 2022 from 5:00pm-8:00pm the opening reception for Call and Response will be held at the New Hampshire Art Association, Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery at 136 State Street in Portsmouth, NH. Call and Response is an exhibit deeply rooted in the layering of collaborative efforts between artists Claudia Rippe and Angelique Luro, each responding to the other. Rippee has photographed graffiti from various places around the world for many years, capturing the ideas, composition, color, and style of street artists. The texture, layers, and implied messages captured in these photographs of urban landscapes have been emotionally translated by Luro into abstract canvases layered with color, marks, and collage. This partnership between artists has created a multi faceted exhibition to spur the imagination.

“Call and Response celebrates a newly minted friendship and artistic alliance,” says Rippee and Luro. “We hope these will engage your imagination as you explore the link between each of these pairs of artwork.”

The exhibit will be on display June 2-22 and is free and open to the public during the gallery’s operating hours; Tuesday through Sunday.
