Real Art Ways

A solo exhibition of new work by 2020 Real Art Ways award recipient Anne Wu will be at the gallery through Feb. 6.

The exhibit, titled “A Dream Walking,” comprises five vibrantly-hued sculptures that reference familiar architectural forms that evoke both a sense of place and no place at all: A railing grows from the ground, emerging upward before an abrupt end. A door opens, or closes, to nowhere in particular. A balcony hovers, the center of its base missing. A banister descends, edging towards the floor. A window cover clings to the wall, its beams extending beyond its frame.

Wu is a 2021-22 Studio Artist at Smack Mellon in Brooklyn, New York and winner of a Real Art award, which recognizes emerging artists living in New England, New Jersey, or New York.

Gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, 4 to 9 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 2 to 9 p.m. Real Art Ways is at 56 Arbor St., Hartford. For information, including visitor protocol, call 860-232-1006 or go to: realartways.org

Delamar Hotel, West Hartford

The New Britain Museum of American Art presents an exhibition of work by Sol LeWitt at the Delamar Hotel, 1 Memorial Road in West Hartford.

The installation includes a series of prints drawn from the LeWitt Collection and the New Britain museum. The exhibit runs through April 1.

A conceptual artist, Sol LeWitt (1928–2007) is best known for his programmatic wall drawings and modular structures, but alongside these works he generated more than 350 print projects, comprising thousands of lithographs, silkscreens, etchings, aquatints, woodcuts, and linocuts.

The exhibition begins with the artist’s earliest prints: figure studies and scenes of urban life made at Syracuse University and in Hartford. LeWitt’s mature printmaking is explored in four thematic sections that reflect the diverse abstract languages he pursued throughout his career: “Lines, Arcs, Circles, and Grids;” “Bands and Colors;” “From Geometric Figures to Complex Forms;” and “Wavy, Curvy, Loopy Doopy, and in All Directions.”

The exhibit is free,
