Adam Stoner makes paintings\, drawings\, and video installations that visualize the intimate connections between architecture and our imagined interiorities. His research frequently explores the memory of space\, the latent agency of materials\, and the architectures visible or invisible which emerge from contact with the sacred. Influenced by the work of the Flemish Primitives in the 15th & 16th Century Northern Renaissance and German Expressionism\, Jean Roberts-Guequierre delicately renders traditional oil paintings which explore contemporary themes. Making art with humor\, empathy and a bawdy eye\, Jean tells a wry tale of human connections and foibles. Theresa Abel incorporates historic techniques from the late Medieval and the early Renaissance creating meditations on life purpose\, morality\, and mortality. These paintings contain a strong narrative to tell stories about how modern-day art can be viewed as a kind of religion\, often blending personal biography with biblical stories\, lives of the saints\, and other tales that can be viewed as fiction or dogma.\n\n\n\nWe are pleased to be joined by Lisa H. Cooper on March 15\, 2026\, at 2pm who will moderate a talk with these three artists. Cooper is Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison\, where she specializes in the literature and culture of late medieval England\; her scholarly investments lie particularly in the intertwined histories of labor\, technology\, science\, material culture\, and the practices of daily life from the twelfth through fifteenth centuries.
