Artists & Makers Studios Welcomes
Jeffrey Berg and “Change is Coming”
Mini-Solo for Lisa B. Filion
(Rockville, MD) – Artists & Makers Studios is pleased to host Jeffrey Berg for the month of September. The exhibit will run from September 2nd through September 23rd, with a Second Friday opening on September 11th from 5-8pm. This collection of drawings by Jeffrey Berg examines personal and inward shifts – how people respond to social and political upheaval, emotional challenges, and outside influences; how people confront unexpected discord while living with past and present trauma; and crossing personal and physical borders. These are personal narratives told in the context of unfolding events: how we respond defines us. Berg’s creative practice centers around two main elements: pencil marks and people. His pencil marks are both intentional and guided by instinct, capturing emotion and mapping memories. Drawing is an act of observing, bearing witness, documenting presence, and connecting feelings with external circumstances. Berg is fascinated by how a pencil mark, through a simple line, repetition, variation, layering, and erasure, can create and convey meaning. Expression, introspection, and bearing witness are central to Berg’s process. As he explores individual human stories, Berg seeks out instances of uncertainty, transformation, and the friction between the self and unpredictable events. Lisa B. Filion shares a mini-solo exhibit in the Lounge Gallery and Resident Artists exhibit new work in the Gallery Hall. Enjoy the sculptural work of Francis Maduka Uduh in studio 11, along with nineteen Gallery 209 Member Artists exhibiting their latest work. Collect a handmade piece of art and support local working artists, makers, and professionals. Light fare generously sponsored each month by The Chesapeake Framing Company.
