Exhibition Dates: March 12 – April 24, 2024
The Spruill Gallery is excited to present Night Swim with Atlanta artists Hannah Ehrlich and Thomas Flynn II.
Combining Ehrlich’s textiles and Flynn’s multilayered sculptural paintings, this exhibition dives into the artists’ psyches as they grapple with cycles of growth and decay within their memories and perceptions of personal histories.
Please join us for an opening reception from 6-9 PM on Friday, March 13, and come engage with the artists on Sunday, April 19 from 2-3 PM.
