There's something so captivating about Mark Mentzer's lines and colors. Warm and low saturated, each painting appears to be shrouded in clouds. Along with the particular architecture of homes, each work feels like you are looking out a window into Pittsburgh's neighborhoods.

Mentzer’s work balances structure and intuition with subtle shifts in color, line, and spatial rhythm. While based in the basic elements of design, Mentzer's works are anything but. His layered surfaces and restrained compositions invite extended viewing, revealing depth and complexity through close attention.

All of these works are currently on exhibit at Dentons Cohen & Grigsby Gallery in downtown Pittsburgh. If you are interested in viewing this show, please contact Melanie at the gallery!

ICYMI Mark has been diving into the history of framing 🖼 Head to "Mark's Journal" on our website to read all about it!

From his latest writing, Why Museums Frame Artwork the Way They Do: Museum framing is about far more than presentation. In museums, framing is considered part of the long-term preservation of artwork itself. The materials surrounding a painting, photograph, print, or document play an important role in protecting it from light, moisture, acidity, environmental changes, and physical damage over time.

Friday framing feature: This mammoth of a painting by is now gorgeously framed and installed at Montour Heights Country Club! The new artwork commemorates the grand re-opening of their downstairs space. Check it out, and grab your giclee prints while you're at it at the Club ⛳

COMING SOON! "Small Town Sewickley" is an upcoming limited-tenure exhibition featuring specially made artworks.

All original artworks are available for purchase, and limited giclées of select works are available.

When between exhibits, we like to show off a little bit of everything. Visit the gallery in the coming weeks to view original artwork by a variety of local and regional artists — landscapes to abstracts, glass sculpture to oil paintings, miniature to extra EXTRA large — we have it all! 🤍

Today is the LAST day to view Ron Thurston's solo exhibition: Mysteriously Optimistic. Curious of the world, its people, and its tools, Thurston puzzle-pieces together his unique perspective for us to explore. His curiosity is contagious, gently shifting our own gaze until we begin to see the world through a new and dynamic lens.

View these unique artworks today until 5 pm.
