The Anne P. Baker Gallery presents “Risk: The Art of David Gilkey, Jade Niehaus, and Julie Oakley,” an eclectic exhibit on display from January 12 to February 21, 2025. The community is invited to an artists’ reception on Sunday, January 12, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
“Risk can be both a powerful catalyst and a paralyzing restraint,” reads the artists’ statement. “This collection explores the inherent risks of artist and viewer, but also the delicate boundary between control and surrender, asking how far we can push ourselves, our mediums, and our interpretations of the art before the line of comfort and uncertainty blurs.
“Each piece in ‘Risk’ is an invitation,” the statement continues. “Some are literal invitations to transition from part of the audience to part of the process. Some are invitations to view the artist’s vulnerability through raw and unpolished processes. Others are invitations to bold experimentation for experimentation’s sake regardless of reception. This body of work challenges both the creator and the viewer to lean into discomfort, to question, and to find meaning.”
The Anne P. Baker Gallery is located inside the Glema Mahr Center for the Arts on the campus of Madisonville Community College. The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours on Glema Center event days. Gallery admission is free.
