The Fine Arts Gallery is pleased to present Color: Inside, Outside, and In Between the Lines, a vibrant two-person exhibition that explores the expressive power of color through two distinct visual languages. Featuring work by Bryant Smalland Allan Gorman, the exhibition brings together two accomplished colorists whose practices diverge in form but converge in chromatic brilliance.


Allan Gorman grew up in the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan, an environment that sparked a lifelong fascination with the drama found in mysterious and unexpected places. His work is formal, allowing for purity in design. Through hisobservations of urban, industrial, and imagined landscapes, he explores the interplay of light and shadow and the emotional moods evoked by color combinations. In the magic of manufactured spaces, Gorman finds joy in the details, geometries, and intersections that invite the eye to journey through and beyond.


Bryant Small works with alcohol inks, highly pigmented materials that allow him to activate the surface with explosive color that moves, hovers, and sets up a dynamic interface. He embraces experimentation and finds creative victorieseven in so-called “mistakes.” His compositions lean toward free abstraction, with no fixed form or rigid geometry only flowing shapes, overspills, and unexpected edges. This visual language is dynamic, fluid, and expressive. The tensionbetween control and release is central to his practice. While spontaneous, his work remains attentive to composition, mood, color palette, and balance.


Together, the artists offer a dialogue on structure versus spontaneity, form versus flow, and the unifying power of color as a primary force in visual expression. Though their methods differ, both artists use color not as decoration, but as a language that speaks directly to perception, feeling, and experience.


The exhibition runs from October 22 through December 5, 2025, with the opening reception October 22 from 5:00 to 7:00pm and the closing reception on December 5, from 5:00 to 7:00pm. The gallery, located at 47 Glenwood Ave at the Saint Peter's University Mac Mahon Student Center, is free to the public and all are welcome. Parking is available on the street..
