Doug Hatch and Ron Isaacs - Picks for spring 2015 Gallery Night & Day - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"Doug Hatch has a way of turning seemingly unremarkable places — bus stops, crosswalks, storefronts — into energetic paintings. The grids, lines, rich colors and reflective energy of a streetscape become meditations on the mutability and vibrant energy latent in the city. His photorealistic paintings of urban scenes will be exhibited with new trompe-l'oeil sculptures by Ron Isaacs. For more than 30 years, Isaacs has been creating delicate wood sculptures that resemble fabric garments and antique objects. There will be an artists' reception Friday from 6 to 9 p.m. The gallery is open Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m."
