The Language of Flowers by Ali Wunder

Mixed media artist Ali Wunder breathes fresh life into florals with her captivating solo show, The Language of Flowers. Her works are anything but garden-variety still-lifes; each bloom, blossom, and bud is reimagined through a mesmerizing fusion of paint, embroidery, and collage. With every season, she conjures bouquets that are as enchanting as they are unique—a vivid celebration of nature’s beauty, told in textures and hues that speak volumes. The Language of Flowers is on view through January 5.

Neville Barbour: Blessings in the Gray

In Blessings in the Gray, at Touchstone Gallery, Neville Barbour reflects on his feelings of uncertainty while growing up in a rapidly gentrifying DC. Using charcoal and mixed media portraiture, he explores how this ambivalence affected his experiences with race, religion, and gender. Blessings in the Gray is an attempt to process these moments. Blessing in the Gray is on view through January 4; 901 New York Ave NW, Washington D.C.
