Artist Talk at Amy Kaslow Gallery: Lisa Tubach and Marine Conservation

September 10, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm UTC+0

Artist Talk at Amy Kaslow Gallery: Lisa Tubach and Marine Conservation

4300 Fordham Road, NW, Washington, DC, 20016

Amy Kaslow Gallery welcomes you to our wide open space in NW Washington, DC where our Sea Glass exhibition pairs Lisa Tubach’s sensuous underwater scapes with John Geci’s bold blown glass vessels. It’s a mesmerizing combination. art

Join us for a Friday, September 10th Gallery Talk at six p.m. when artist/environmentalist Lisa Tubach shares a panel with specialists from the Chesapeake Bay Program and Ocean Foundations. Together we’ll probe the biggest threat to our water bodies and marine life — industrial pollution we expel into oceans, rivers, lakes, creeks, and wells —  and we’ll share practical ways to help reverse the degradation. Of course we’ll be surrounded by beauty! We’re showing over a dozen of Tubach’s works. Her paintbrush beckons us into ethereal underwater worlds, defined by brilliant, bold-toned sea life. Channeling her zest for protecting tropical ecosystems into stunning tableaus, she gives us big strokes and remarkable detail as we enter coral installations, move through grasses and into grottos.

Her oil and acrylic paintings on canvas and gouaches on paper are informed by her conservation work: immersion with shark conservationists in Belize, coral garden maintenance in Hawaii, invertebrate collection in Puget Sound, reef documentation in the Bahamas and next, perhaps, a trip to Iceland where she wants to “dive into fissures” to examine their geo-thermal state. Tubach’s brilliant and large-scale paintings have a clear message about the beauty, the fragility of our ocean ecosystems and prompt us to examine what we can do to protect them.


Please join us Friday September 10th at 6:00 pm to engage and learn more. Libations served. Sea Glass runs through September 25th at Amy Kaslow Gallery, 4300 Fordham Rd NW, Washington D.C. 20016. Masks required.
