Addison/Ripley Fine Art Fine art in several disciplines: painting, photography, limited edition prints and sculpture. Art consultant to Crowell & Moring, Washington, D. C.

When Addison/Ripley Fine Art was established in 1981 in a large, historic carriage house at 9 Hillyer Court, behind the Phillips Collection, partners Sylvia Ripley and Christopher Addison already had an ambitious agenda for the gallery. Now, as one of Washington, D.C. ‘s foremost contemporary galleries housed in premium space in Upper Georgetown at Book Hill, the gallery continues to thrive and to present challenging and familiar art works in expansive exhibits throughout the year. We feature changing exhibitions of work by leading area and internationally recognized artists as well as work by younger, emerging artists. Work in all media is represented in the gallery and styles range from traditional landscape to overall abstraction. The gallery displays work in large scale: painting, photography, drawing and sculpture, and more modest scale in those same mediums. The gallery frequently arranges exhibits in other spaces for our clients and artist. Among the services available through the gallery for private clients, other art consultants, interior decorators and corporate entities are art acquisition and sale for private and corporate clients and consultations for placement, lighting, framing and value. We buy and sell at auction on behalf of clients and offer professional advice in this area for our clients. In addition, we work extensively with colleagues throughout the United States and the world, extending our reach and ability to offer our clients the finest work available anywhere. Since 1986, the gallery has been an active member of the Art dealers Association of Greater Washington. Art consultant and curator to the Warner Building, Washington, D.C.

What a fascinating discussion we had yesterday during our Coffee & Conversation with exhibiting artist Robin Bell.

Bell's solo show -PROJECTION WARNINGS- provided the perfect backdrop to the event, facilitating conversation on matters ranging from activism and politics, to music and nature, to the crossover between art and technology.

We appreciate the consistent audience participation and engagement as we continue to bring attention to pertinent topics that affect our community.

Sometimes an original artwork doesn’t announce itself, it simply keeps your attention. Sometimes the oddest things catch your eye...like these milk tree plants in the window straight of artist Robin Bell's studio.

A glance can become a closer look, a gallery visit, a question about the artist, and a better sense of what speaks to you. At A/R Addison/Ripley Fine Art, discovering art is personal: explore the work, notice the details, and let your own response lead the way.

The goal isn’t to choose what is fashionable or fill a blank wall as quickly as possible. It’s to find an original artwork that continues the conversation after you leave the gallery, and feels right when you bring it into your space.

Exhibit: Oct 24th - Nov 28th
Reception: Oct 24th | 5pm-7pm

--About--
Carlotta Hester draws her inspiration from a wide range of sources, brought together by a singular vision of discovering the interconnectedness of life, its cycles, and possibilities for transformation and renewal.

Using latex resist, water, and acrylic paint to stain large canvases, Hester begins each painting with a mark or gesture, which is then responded to with the consideration of balancing and varying the color, shapes, and lines. The spontaneous interplay of the paints and the way the pigment modulate in billowing veils of translucent color lead to new and unforeseeable outcomes. The biomorphic shapes created during the process are evocative.
