MILLER BOGART & ABEL MASSOT- Gallery Bogart is pleased to present Del Mito, el Rapto “Of the myth, The abduction” an Abel Massot Solo Exhibition, as the artist’s third exhibit with the gallery. Abel Massot lives and works in Havana, Cuba and is an award-winning contemporary artist.

Abel Massot’s newest series “Del mito, el rapto” (Of the myth, The abduction) indicates a marked shift for the artist from his distinctive techniques and exhibits a new elevated coalescence of his explorations from the last decade. Massot is recognized for his expressionist, stark, and immersive paintings of faces and stripped away forms of the body. This is still evident in this new series, however, now lines become more exacting, overlapping, and urgent, creating chaotic movement and depth. These progressions result in Massot’s figurative dialogue being further developed, no longer static and internal, but outward and demanding. Through these depictions he continues to invoke introspection of the human experience and examines themes inherent in humanity through revisiting classical and Greek abduction myths.

Gallery Bogart is located in the West Bottoms at 1400 Union Ave KCMO 64101

BRENT SCHONDELMEYER & DAN WHITE-Englewood Arts Inaugural Public Exhibit
The exhibit, features over 42 photographs taken by Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Dan White and includes text by local writer Brent Schondelmeyer.
The color photographs were taken in 1985 for a book project (the first decade) and the second decade is black and white portraits taken during December and January this past winter.
White’s photography has been featured in notable photography books like “America 24/7,” has previously exhibited stunning portraits of Kansas City jazz musicians and presented an exhibit on his hometown of Flint, MI. In recognition of his contributions, White was inducted into the Missouri Photojournalism Hall of Fame in 2019.
Schondelmeyer, a former journalist and local historian, collaborated with White on both the 1985 project and the recent portraits.
Together, their work offers a unique perspective on the community through photography and large-scale prints.
