Jeremy Philips has done a series of large painting all in gray tones. There are multiple programmed events during the week.

This exhibition of minimalist paintings shows Phillips in a playful mood, using home decorating tools and typewriters to create rich and complex grays in simple, yet compelling images. These ten paintings, each 60" x 60", nod to TV snow, sonic fuzz, pencil paintings, Beat poetry, 20th C. painters who played in these minor keys, op art and more. They celebrate the human touch and the realized human idea.
