We at Gallery 317 are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of Renee Isaac. Renee was a true champion of Bryan, its arts community, and the people who work tirelessly to help it thrive. From the very beginning, she encouraged and supported us as we pursued the dream of bringing a premier art gallery to downtown Bryan.

Her unwavering support, infectious laughter, and remarkable resilience touched so many lives. We are grateful for her friendship and the impact she made on our journey and our community.

You will be greatly missed, Renee. Thank you for believing in us and for all you gave to those around you.

Gallery 317 is proud to announce our next special exhibit: MATT GODSIL June 6 - July 25

"Pilgrimage to the Edge of Light"

For Matthew Godsil, landscape is a meditation on home.

This body of work retraces a deeper journey — the path his great-grandparents made in the mid-19th century when they left Ireland for the American Midwest. To travel now in the opposite direction is less tourism than return. Standing at Ireland’s Atlantic edge — at Skellig Michael or along the stone fort of Dún Aonghasa — the scale of time expands. Wind and surf outlast generations. Ancient cruciform carvings compress faith and endurance into stone.

Evening light fading into the western sea is simultaneously dawn across the Atlantic in Ohio.
The same light, different horizon.

Godsil begins with graphite drawings and plein air watercolor studies made on site. These encounters become layered oil paintings developed slowly in the studio. Through textured surfaces and shifting passages of light, he seeks not simply to depict landscape, but to dwell within it.

For Godsil, painting is prayerful attentiveness — a way of holding together memory, movement, and inheritance. In returning to Ireland’s edge, he senses not merely connection, but reconnection — as though the longing for home finds its horizon in light.
