Ro2 Art Gallery will present "Seriously Silly," a solo exhibition featuring new works by artist Jeanne C. Neal. Neal creates vibrant, high energy work conveying the synchronicity of the refined with the playful. Taking various avenues to express her concepts, Neal employs contrasting methods of both non-objective and more figurative styles to juxtapose the serious elements and the  lighthearted devices.

Dark shapes and heavy black markings forcibly press against each other while they seemingly endeavor to escape the pictorial plane. Engaging, and vibrant shapes deliver comparison and balance between the darker tones, diffusing tension and offering a lighter context. However, Neal does not aim to construct a perfect balance in her work, just as in life.

Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through August 3.
