GoggleWorks Center for the Arts opens Giancarlo DeMarchi: Blue Salesman with a reception in the Cohen Gallery West. The exhibition looks at the tangled relationship between memory, emotion, and representation, and the evening is a chance to see the work as a whole and to meet the artist.

DeMarchi is an American painter whose canvases turn on tension, memory, love, loss, and the passage of time. He builds compositions from color, shape, and layered forms, letting separate elements press against one another while reaching toward moments of harmony. The results read as testimonials and quiet meditations on lived experience and recollection.

Expect an unhurried evening of conversation about contemporary painting among neighbors, artists, and visitors. The exhibition remains on view in the Cohen Gallery West through November 29, so the reception is the night to catch the artist in the room.
