This monthly survey highlights some of the more notable Art+Design happenings in metro Atlanta. Jerry Cullum, the winner of a 2020 Rabkin Prize for arts journalism, has written about the visual arts for decades.
Shawn Vinson, who's shown his artists' work in various spaces since closing his eponymous Decatur Square location in 2008, has inaugurated the Waddi ATL on Waddell Street in Inman Park. The spectacular 3 SOUTHERN ARTISTS (through July 31) features new work by the well-known Ab the Flagman, little-known panorama-format paintings by the late Cabbagetown artist Panorama Ray (none of his celebrated panorama photos are here) and fascinating text-filled paintings by Harry Underwood. Underwood, a Tennessee outsider artist, is devoted to the philosophical question of how we achieve certainty. One painting describes it as "a phenomenon soaked in the diary of a waterfall." Vinson is still the gallerist behind Different Trains on Decatur's Howard Avenue and and DTG2 at Cornerstone Bank of Decatur on Clairemont Avenue.
