Brokers Gallery presents "As Above – So Below," a group exhibition examining the macrocosm and microcosm through figurative and landscape painting. The exhibition explores the macrocosm and the microcosm within contemporary painting. The ten selected artists approach painting through subject matter that ranges from the cosmos to the back garden—moving from tactile works that evoke celestial bodies to figurative paintings that portray the self spiritually, mentally, and materially, grappling with reality and circumstance. "As Above – So Below" presents the universal alongside the transcendental, and the everyday beside the inexplicable. Please join us for the reception: Friday January 9 at 6:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m. Free Admission Validated parking is available in the LAZ garage for event attendees. Brokers Gallery on Facebook / Instagram
