In The Now: Contemporary Figurative Art
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 30, 1 to 3 PM

The Crown Gallery at Metro Arts Studios is proud to present In The Now, an exhibition of contemporary figurative art in a variety of 2D and 3D media. Participating artists include Traé Brooks, Faustin Adeniran, and Janice Mauro. This exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of identity, vulnerability, and the figure as a site of both personal and universal expression, reinforcing the idea that this is not only an act of introspection but also a profound statement of resistance and survival. Through the use of contrasting materials and methods, these artists create works that challenge conventional boundaries, inviting a deeper engagement with the physical and emotional aspects of the human experience. In The Now, named for a thought-provoking quote by poet, philosopher, and activist Audre Lorde, whose writing has long been a catalyst for conversations on identity, empowerment, and social justice. “Life is very short and what we have to do must be done in the now.”

Curvilinear: Featured Artist Deborah Loeb Bohren
Opening Reception: Sunday, March 30, 1 to 3 PM

Metro Art Studios is delighted to have an exhibit of the work of Deborah Loeb Bohren as Featured Artist, starting March 30. Curvilinear explores how abstraction in photography can transcend literal representation, offering a deeper, more intuitive experience of form, movement, and space. Lines and curves — fundamental elements in abstract art — shape how we perceive form, movement, and emotion. In Curvilinear, they serve as a bridge between reality and interpretation, distilling the essence of objects and architecture into their purest visual forms. Lines create structure, direction, and rhythm, while curves introduce fluidity, tension, and grace. Together, they transform everyday scenes into dynamic compositions, revealing hidden harmonies and geometric beauty.

Metro Art Studios throws its doors open for the first open studio event of the year!

Meet the artists of Metro Art Studios – over 40 artists working in a wide variety of disciplines, from drawing to painting, sculpture to jewelry, printmaking to photography, video, and music.

Will you be there?

Through photography, David Sussan discovers a deeply personal connection to storytelling—unfiltered, instinctive, and entirely his own. Sussan embraces the freedom of capturing moments as they unfold, whether in the vast landscapes or the quiet intensity of a subject’s gaze. His work seeks to preserve the essence of everyday life with honesty and depth. Each portrait tells a story of survival, dignity, and the human experience in its purest form. RSVP: info@nwestgallery.com

Sussan’s landscapes are expansive and atmospheric, while his portraits capture raw emotion and personal narratives. He is particularly drawn to the simplicity and emotions of daily life—a passenger content, a child’s playful stare, or a sudden look of defiance. Travel has served as one of Sussan’s greatest teachers, leading him to Bangladesh and India to study portrait photography under the GMB Akash Institute of Photography. The proceeds of these workshops support basic education for underprivileged children, raising awareness and driving social change. Being part of this initiative has been both humbling and a defining chapter in his artistic story. We invite you to experience the world through David Sussan’s lens, embarking on a personal journey to witness in their unspoken truths.

An amazing new show is coming to ARTWorks, I hope you can join us for the reception on March 15, 4:30-6:30.

The term “biophilia” suggests an instinctive bond between human beings and other life forms in nature. In Biophilia, six women artists are inspired by a world that blurs the line between nature and the imagination. These artists work in a variety of 2D and 3D  art mediums in a range of materials, textures, and colors. Artists are Carol Bouyoucos, Julie Evans, Loren Eiferman, Heide Follin, Christina Massey, and Sui Park.

To celebrate the opening, there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 4 p.m., which will feature speakers like Norwalk Mayor Harry Rilling, Riko’s executives and other local dignitaries, according to the spokesperson. Live music will be played and refreshments will be served during the event.

The franchise chain specializes in hot oil and thin-crust pizza. Among its pizza offerings are clam pizza, Nashville hot chicken pizza, white pizza, garden salad, hot oil pizza and Hawaiian pizza, according to its online menu. It also offers baked wings, desserts, craft beers, wines and specialty cocktails.

Jeremiah Chechik, artist, film director and photographer, is obsessed with the porous boundary between fact and fiction. The subtly investigative prints he creates explore our “post truth” reality, melding 21st century advanced digital design with traditional printing on Hahnemühle paper. The resulting images are more than just visually stunning and thoroughly aesthetic — they also raise key questions about the nature of truth and knowledge in our media-saturated age.
