Gallery at Ideation Orange

Today through Friday noon to 5pm- Come in for gallery hours to see Interiority- featuring the work of Kelly Burke- this one is not to be missed! Interiority is Kelly Burke’s first major solo show. Her work centers on painting as an act of self-preservation. In a world that is increasingly fast, immaterial, and digitally mediated, the physical act of making—of touching, layering, scraping, and reworking paint by hand—becomes a necessary return to the body. The studio is a space of retreat, where the inward self can take form beyond the constraints of language. These works emerge through an intuitive process of accumulation and erasure. Layers are built up and broken down, marked by scrawling gestures, abrasions, and moments of stillness. The surfaces hold a record of this push and pull—of tension and release, fragmentation and cohesion. Painting, in this sense, becomes both a solitary and deeply personal act, at times even a selfish one, rooted in the need to process, to hold, and to continue. @kellyburkeart

Tonight, from 7 to 10pm join us for the very special opening of Interiority A Solo Exhibit Featuring the work of Kelly Burke May 8th- May 29th Interiority is Kelly Burke’s first major solo show. Her work centers on painting as an act of self-preservation. In a world that is increasingly fast, immaterial, and digitally mediated, the physical act of making—of touching, layering, scraping, and reworking paint by hand—becomes a necessary return to the body. The studio is a space of retreat, where the inward self can take form beyond the constraints of language. These works emerge through an intuitive process of accumulation and erasure.

The surfaces hold a record of this push and pull—of tension and release, fragmentation and cohesion. Painting, in this sense, becomes both a solitary and deeply personal act, at times even a selfish one, rooted in the need to process, to hold, and to continue. Yet the work is not closed. While grounded in an internal landscape, each painting extends an invitation outward. Viewers are encouraged to engage with the formal elements—color, form, texture, and movement—and to encounter their own emotional responses within the work. Meaning is not fixed, but felt: shifting, subjective, and open. Interiority proposes painting as both refuge and offering—an embodied practice that resists disconnection, and a space where inner experience can be shared without needing to be explained

Interiority A Solo Exhibit Featuring the work of Kelly Burke May 8th- May 29th Opening Reception: Friday May 8th 7 to 10pm Kelly Burke’s artwork explores the dissolution of material and figurative imagery, revealing the abstract essence and energy of her lived experience. Drawing from her inner world and psyche, she reflects on moments shaped by mental health—both deeply challenging and profoundly beautiful. These experiences are translated into her work through color, form, and the physicality of paint itself. Through repetitive processes of layering, removal, and reapplication, Burke builds complex surfaces marked by automatic scrawling, scratching, and gestural mark-making. These actions mirror her internal landscape and way of thinking—at times rough and abrasive, at others gentle and fluid. Burke received her B.F.A. in Painting and Art History from Siena Heights University in 2007. Her studies led to an interest in abstraction, as well as South and East Asian Buddhist art and thought. Without a religious upbringing, she began to see how spiritual exploration could merge with her art-making practice. This way of thinking informs her life beyond the studio, influencing other aspects of her life, including her relationship to food, nature, and empathy toward others. She has exhibited and sold her work for decades, and her paintings are held in private collections and businesses in the Detroit area and across the country. Her work was recently acquired by the Kresge Foundation. The Gallery at Ideation Orange 420 W 9 Mile Rd Hazel Park Full details: galleryatio.com

TONIGHT!! From 6 to 8pm- your last chance to see Allison Vince's Solo Exhibit: No Sense But to Make It Come early!! There may be a few surprises 🫢 No Sense but to Make It is the second solo show from Detroit-based artist Allison Vince. Her latest exhibition brings together a group of paintings that moves between subjects, palettes, and approaches—sometimes abruptly. More akin to a collection of short stories than a novel, No Sense but to Make It contains a menagerie of whimsical moments: some quick, some more composed; some playful, some slightly strange. Together they represent an inventory of ideas from the last year—an artist trying things out, following her instincts, and occasionally surprising herself. The only theme is the compulsion to put color to canvas. @allisonvpaintings

High quality prints will be available at my show! Opening is May 8th, 7-10pm at @galleryatio

THIS Thursday!! 6 to 8pm, the closing reception for Allison Vince's Solo exhibit- Be sure to come early, there might be a few surprises! 😉 Let's celebrate her success No Sense but to Make It is the second solo show from Detroit-based artist Allison Vince. Her latest exhibition brings together a group of paintings that moves between subjects, palettes, and approaches—sometimes abruptly. More akin to a collection of short stories than a novel, No Sense but to Make It contains a menagerie of whimsical moments: some quick, some more composed; some playful, some slightly strange. Together they represent an inventory of ideas from the last year—an artist trying things out, following her instincts, and occasionally surprising herself. The only theme is the compulsion to put color to canvas. Every bit as idiosyncratic as the artist herself, Allison’s latest work is less about a single revealing rubric than about her swelling drive to create. So much so that this variety of work came to feel inevitable. Despite the lack of a grand thesis for her exhibition, it simply made no sense but to make it. @allisonvpaintings 📍 The Gallery at Ideation Orange 420 W 9 Mile Rd, Hazel Park Thursday April 30th 6 to 8pm!
