Artists’ Talk Saturday, October 17, 5-6pm

Jim Mitchell and J G Orudjev will show work in photography and experimental mixed media in the exhibition “Urban Hymns” throughout October at NOMA Gallery.

“Urban Hymns” will open on Friday, October 2 and will run through Sunday, November 1.
An opening reception will be held Saturday, October 3rd, from 5-8pm.

The artists will host a talk Saturday, October 17 from 5-6pm.

“Urban Hymns” celebrates the interpretation of the urban landscape.

The City is a living thing, now in motion, presently at rest. Mitchell and Orudjev come together to respond to light and shadow that define it — to their underpinning and illuminating of the spaces we construct and through which we move; their expansive emptiness, evolving reflection, and splendid darkness.

Jim Mitchell’s photographic career spans forty years of travel, curiosity and visual and social sensibility.
His body of work reflects his boundless curiosity about the world and people, about their daily lives and habitats, and how they go about them in an ever-changing environment.

He works to instill this passion in the images he creates, to make some sense of order out of all the visual chaos that surrounds us. Through his practice, he finds a better understanding of the world around him and maintains a meditative sense of balance in his photographs.

His photography has been showcased at The Art League in Alexandria, Virginia; The Artist Gallery in Columbia, Maryland; The Marlboro Gallery in Prince George’s County, Maryland; and The Artists Gallery in Frederick, Maryland.

J G Orudjev is a collage artist and painter with a background in sculpture.  Her work has been shown and published both domestically and internationally.  She regularly seeks out collaboration with other artists, and places great value on cooperative experiences.  

In her work for “Urban Hymns” she is responding to Jim Mitchell’s photographs, pushing an exploration of monochrome abstraction in mixed media.
