Susan Calloway Fine Arts: Janet Fry Rogers  

 

On view at the Thos. Moser (3300 M Street, NW) DC showroom from July through September, join Susan Calloway Fine Arts (1643 Wisconsin Avenue, NW) and other art connoisseurs for Janet Fry Rogers' most recent work, Silver Reflections and New Drawings. Silver Reflections and New Drawings demonstrates the creative evolution of Rogers' use of oxidized silver and white gold leaf in combination with acrylic paint that creates reflective and dynamic compositions. As a counterpoint to the gold and silver works on view, Rogers' drawings of flowers and leaves emphasize the importance and simplicity of the formal qualities of line and shape. 202.965.4601
