A new artist-run gallery space has made its way to Athens. Artist, curator and educator Jaime Bull is opening her own gallery named Foyer, located in the front hallway of her home to create an immersive experience for viewers. Four solo exhibitions will be featured annually, and all artists are encouraged to reach out to Bull to inquire about the space. For Foyer’s first exhibition, abstract artist Chrissy Reed will share “Blobbies,” a collection of minimalist works inspired by her recent trip to Japan. Bull describes Reed’s pieces as “playful and poignant.” Reed, who received a BFA from UGA’s Lamar Dodd School of Art, creates beautifully balanced yet chaotic abstract artworks that catch the eye. Her current exhibit displays various aspects of her life and the beautiful colors and architecture she experienced while in Japan. Foyer is located at Bull’s home, a pink Victorian on the corner of Park and Yonah (135 Park Ave.). Following the opening reception, the exhibition can be viewed by appointment through Nov. 18.
