Hancock  Solar  Gallery  is located on the ground  floor of  the Nelson Kohl Building. We  believe that art  is an  integral  part of  life and  it changes  the  perspective  of  those who engage  with  it.  The  gallery  aims  to  promote  the thought-provoking  work  of Baltimore’s artists  in the heart of the city’s oldest arts district,  Station  North. It is  independently curated by artist Jordan Faye Block of Make Beautiful Change and Thrive Atelier. Lawrence Cromwell received his MFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design in ’99, he teaches painting at Towson University & Howard County Community College, and currently lives and works in Baltimore, MD.

A Strange Day at the Japanese Pancake House, Watercolor, 22”x30”

Greg McLemore, Adjunct III in the Department of Art + Design, will be exhibiting his work, Décadent, at the Gormely Gallery at the Notre Dame of Maryland.

These paintings range in subject from the once glorious but now dilapidated buildings of Baltimore City to the architecture and complex history of Nagasaki, Japan. Strange and alienated figures wander the streets and ghosts are both seen and felt. Though very much formed in the 21st Century, much of this work is influenced by the 19th-century Décadent movement, whose artists and writers were known to give florid levels of description in their scenery, embrace perversion, and indulge in all things exotic. They were at ease shifting be-tween reality and more irrational ideas. These paintings have a slightly different sensibility, but do fit into the Decadent lineage.
