4worldlovers: On September 15th, 2023, Grove Gallery will be proud to show printmaker John Fleissner’s first solo exhibition, “DAYBREAK - Relief Prints and Broadsides.” Carved from linoleum blocks, Fleissner’s prints agitate for social revolution rooted in people’s everyday lives. The selection of 30 black and white prints, created from 2013 to the present, features images and hand-lettering of pro working-class messages with references to Milwaukee landmarks and historical events. Much of the work on display has been used by social movements as posters and on picket lines. Inspired by the graphic qualities of German Expressionist woodcuts and the Taller de Gráfica Popular, these prints give voice to working class organizing.

The run of the show will coincide with other major events in Milwaukee. On September 23rd, 2023, Grove Gallery will participate with the Lamers Building for Doors Open Milwaukee, a city-wide open house event. The Lamers Building, which includes Grove Gallery, Team Nerd Press and the private art studio of Celine Farrell, will celebrate its newly granted Historical Landmark status. One month later, on October 20th and 21st, DAYBREAK at Grove Gallery will be open for Milwaukee Gallery Night and Day. The show will be open to the public for the remaining Saturdays from 12-4 PM. We hope you’ll take the opportunity to view this exhibit.

Al Knutson is an artist living and painting out of Milwaukee, WI. Crafty at heart, the experimentation and development of new procedures, tools, and mediums is her cup of tea. With a deep appreciation for unusual and scrappy materials, Al dabbles in any medium she can get her hands on. Presently Al is particularly keen on acrylic, dye, and soft pastels. When it comes to painting, the bigger the better. Al has learned to love the art of building and stretching large canvases and how lines, shapes, and colors operate on a large scale. Although there is rarely a theme or specific inspiration, she naturally creates imaginary places, spaces, and the things that exist within them. Al works out of her studio at Material Studios and Gallery in the Historic Third Ward.

Ella was born in Milwaukee, WI but grew up in Northern Michigan. Her early days were spent with her mother beach combing and exploring abandoned caving grounds. Her current body of work is influenced by found objects, nature, and memory.
