CURRENT EXHIBITION
In Black and White
The Beckley Art Center invites you to experience In Black & White, a curated exhibition in the Gallery off the Beckley Art Center that celebrates the power of contrast, texture, and form. Stripped of color, each work relies on light and shadow to reveal detail, emotion, and structure, highlighting how artists use value alone to create depth and drama.
From bold graphic compositions to subtle tonal studies, the show features drawing, painting, printmaking, photography, and mixed media pieces that explore themes of memory, identity, architecture, and the natural world. Without the distraction of color, viewers are encouraged to slow down, look closer, and notice the small decisions—line weight, pattern, negative space—that shape each piece.
In Black & White is an opportunity to see how limitation can become a source of creativity, and how artists use monochrome to sharpen focus, intensify feeling, and invite personal interpretation.
