Greetings from the Eisemann Center!

Thank you for subscribing to our monthly Visual Arts Newsletter, Brushstrokes. We hope you find it informative and inviting. The Forrest and Virginia Green Mezzanine Gallery is free to view and open daily to the public. Located in the heart of Galatyn Parkway, and steps from the DART rail, our monthly art installation is not something you want to miss. For more information on Visual/Public Art at the Eisemann Center, exhibit schedule, and all information for those wanting to exhibit their work, click here.

Sudeep Kumar is a teacher, painter, illustrator, and urban sketch artist using use charcoal, ink pen, watercolor, and as little and as simple of materials as possible to capture the energy of a location he feels connected to, searching for a deeper meaning. After scouting locations, he produces the bulk of each piece on site making the artwork more lively and energetic, adding only finishing touches in the studio. Kumar intends to present these urban spaces “not as noisy backdrops, but as living, breathing stories. Each piece is a whisper from the city — an invitation to slow down and see.” These pieces also act as portraits of human emotion underneath the day-to-day hardships and the mundane.

“In today's world of technological advancement, I feel we as a species are losing touch with our surroundings, our environment and our fellow human beings. The real connection or intimacy is missing.”

Step into the quiet poetry of the everyday. Urban Whispers invites you to pause, observe, and rediscover the soul of the city through a series of intimate, watercolors and drawings inspired by real places. These works capture the subtle beauty of overlooked streetscapes, forgotten corners, and fleeting moments — the kind we often pass by but rarely notice.

"Art for me is like a meditation, a silent conversation with self. It’s a means by which I see things more clearly. Spontaneity, unpredictability and self-discovery in making the art work constantly excite me!"

A "First Fridays" reception has been scheduled for this THURSDAY, July 3, in lieu of the holiday. Join us for light bites and meet the artist from 6-8 PM on the second floor of the Eisemann Center lobby.

Please forward and share this newsletter to anyone interested in the arts.
