Donna Spaan Gallery Exhibition

Light: Donna Spaan's Contemporary Art Collection

What is light? Where does it come from? What can it reveal?

The works in the Donna Spaan Contemporary Art Collection are varied in their approach, aesthetic, medium, and conceptual, light-driven underpinnings. Yet together, they weave a journey of discovery.

On view: December 4 - April 21 

Tiffany Krampe's exhibition, with copper bowl and linen artwork

"How Long, O Lord?" A Reflection on the Psalms of Lament by Tiffany Krampe

Through her exhibition "How Long, O Lord," Tiffany Krampe invites viewers to bring their sorrows and longings to the Lord. Her multimedia paintings with wood ash on unfinished canvas are physical reminders of beauty coming from ashes; they reflect both the honest sorrow and the promised hope we find modeled in the psalms of lament. This collection is an invitation to worship our faithful God who knows us and hears our cries.

On view: February 17 - April 21

Otto Selles' large scale landscape photograph of sky and field.

Roselle Park: Reclaimed Beauty by Otto Selles

Join Professor Otto Selles and look through his camera lens. Watch as the seasons change in Roselle Park, a historic meat-factory-turned-park in Ada, Michigan.

Through four years of careful observation, shadows become soft blankets on the snowy ground, single flowers become expansive landscapes, and fence posts become elements of composition. Together, Selles’s research and photographs become a poignant narrative on the possibility of reclaiming beauty in all things.

On view: February 17 - April 21

Past Exhibits

Japanese print by Sadao Watanabe hung on the gallery wall

Sadao Watanabe

Noah’s Ark is filled with tigers, oxen, and crickets; the Last Supper features sake wine and sea bream. When Jesus welcomes the children to him, they come wearing yukata kimono. Through Sadao Watanabe’s eyes, the Bible is reimagined in a Japan-shaped vision. A master of kappazuri, Watanabe’s meditative prints invite viewers to see Christ and the uniting story that leads to him anew.

On view: December 4 - February 14
