Through Saturday, May 31
Voices Studios, 1585 Central Avenue, Dubuque IA
Delivering intimate explorations of the human condition through drawing and printmaking, the exhibition Fresh Steele, by area talent Priscilla Steele, enjoys a showcase at Dubuque's Voices Studios through May 31.
Priscilla Steele’s latest collection of drawings and prints delves deep into the fundamental aspects of the human experience. With a passionate exploration of the personal and the universal, Steele uses her work as a way to express both beauty and complexity. As she notes in her artist statement, “Drawing and printmaking are my chosen tools for exploring the most basic aspects of being human.” Steele’s work is a reflection on the continuous pursuit of meaning, deeply influenced by the words of poet Wendell Berry, and her pieces invite viewers to ponder the balance between personal expression and universal connection.
Fresh Steele offers a compelling look at Steele’s evolving artistic journey, where she continuously strives for “wholeness” and resonates with the intricacies of life. This exhibition presents a unique opportunity for viewers to witness the beauty and complexity of the world through the eyes of a dedicated artist specializing in drawing and printmaking. Her works have been displayed in numerous galleries and have garnered recognition for their depth, thoughtfulness, and ability to connect personal expression with universal themes.
An opening reception for both Priscilla Steele: Fresh Steele and the exhibition Fatherless Print Posse: Delusion of Choice will take place on April 4 at 5:30 p.m., with the artists present, refreshments served, and everyone invited to participate in the expanding art scene in Dubuque's Central Corridor. Taken together, the exhibits invite viewers to experience a spectrum of artistic expression as the venue showcases compelling art that bridges personal introspection with collective consciousness.
Both exhibits will be on view through May 31, gallery admission is free, and more information is available by visiting VoicesStudios.org.
