THRU JUNE 27 – NKollectiv
NKollectiv presents “Inscape,” an exhibition of artworks by Kelly Austin-Rolo and Michele Messenger, on view June 3 – 27, 2025, at 3485 S. Broadway. The duo works in the same medium but displays distinct styles and approaches to their work. The show title reflects the idea that each viewer brings their own level of interaction, experiences, thoughts and visions to the forefront when engaging with art—much as the artwork itself brings out the inscape of a subject—its unique inner nature or essential quality. Austin-Rolo’s work in this exhibition explores the Earth’s profound, and very often unseen, beauty as viewed from above — a perspective that transforms landscape into abstraction, terrain into texture, and geography into geometry. Messenger developed her encaustic skills after taking a class from local artist and instructor, Victoria Eubanks, in 2012 and falling in love with the medium. She takes a pragmatic approach to her practice, feeling that a work is complete once it makes her smile.
