Cross Currents

Carlene Francis

Rebecca Gabriel

Two-artist Exhibition

Bitfactory Gallery & Studios is proud to present the Cross Currents Exhibition. This exhibition brings together the luminous, contemplative works of Carlene Francis and the psychologically charged figurative paintings of Rebecca Gabriel. Francis builds her oil paintings through layered transparent glazes, drawing on Eastern philosophy and the principle of Shunyata to create serene compositions where simplicity allows depth and presence to emerge. In contrast, Gabriel’s work explores the inner emotional landscape of her subjects, combining Old Master techniques with a contemporary sensibility to reveal narratives of identity, memory, and connection. Together, their practices invite viewers into a space that balances stillness and introspection with intimate, human complexity.

The public is invited to an opening reception on May 15, 6:00 – 9:00 PM and to visit the show during First Friday, June 5, 6:00 – 9:00 PM or during regular business hours during the run of the exhibition.
