Rick Sanders | Ubiquitous Fractures | Solo Exhibition

Opening Reception | May 16 | 6–9 PM

The 109 Gallery | Historic Downtown Chickamauga, GA

Join us for an evening celebrating the work of painter, author, veteran, and retired arts educator Rick Sanders. Spanning more than four decades of sustained studio practice, Sanders’ paintings explore memory, domestic space, storytelling, and the shifting emotional landscapes of everyday life through layered fractured portraits and painted collages.

As both a curator and artist colleague, I continue returning to the strange tenderness and unfolding narratives within Rick’s work. These are paintings that reveal themselves slowly over time, works rich with symbolism, intuition, humor, history, and lived experience.

We’ll have refreshments, small bites, great conversation, and the opportunity to experience firsthand the breadth of an artist whose work has become an enduring part of the regional contemporary arts landscape.

Hope y’all will come spend the evening with us and help celebrate this incredible exhibition and artist.
