The Safe Harbors of the Hudson Ann Street Gallery is pleased to present Mélange, their newest exhibition with and Artist Reception on Saturday, August 15, from 6:30-8:30pm.

“Mélange is artist Ryan Roa’s tenth solo exhibition, featuring his most recent sculptures and drawings. The sculptures on display in this exhibition are comprised of everyday utilitarian materials: expanded steel, nuts, bolts, washers, and threaded rods, which are in complete contrast with the fluidity of the sculptures shapes and forms. By employing a harsh metal to fabricate delicate shapes, the artist felt it was not only challenging the material’s limitations but helped to emphasize the duality of the sculpture’s aesthetic quality.”
