A complement is something that completes, makes up a whole, or brings to perfection. It is also either of two parts that complete the whole or mutually complete each other. Susan Calloway has demonstrated excellence in selecting Robert Rea and Linda Press as demonstrable works in complementary vision.
Linda Press’ architectural paintings make use of the play of light and shadow across buildings in dense city centers including Paris, New York, and Washington, DC. Robert Rea’s works, influenced by memories of his Alabama childhood, embody that same light in its purest form, in their subtle studies of color. See more at:

Congratulations to Jill Banks and her “Orange Peeled” which won the Jordan Award for “Best of Show” in the “Small Works” Exhibit at the Art League (Alexandria, VA). That’s number 1 out of 532 entries. The awards ceremony will be held at the Art League on Thursday, November 13 around 7pm. The reception runs from 6:30 to 9:30pm. We’ve been absorbing Banks’ choices in color tonality since her recent well-received solo exhibition.
Banks also appears in the December issue of Artist’s Magazine — as she was a finalist in their Annual Art Competition. Just a note: in 2005, Banks won her first Best of Show at the Art League and was a finalist in Artist’s Magazine’s Annual Art Competition for the first time. This year is her second time winning both of those honors. The Art League is located at 105 North Union Street, Alexandria, VA.

I have long been an admirer of Jonathan B. French’s photographic works, going back to when I first saw him at
Honfleur. Now he’s being shown over at the new Hamiltonian Gallery and here’s what he has to say:
Being an African American I find it of the utmost importance that this story be shared. Africans in the Americas have been marginalized from participation in the economics and mainstream of their countries. Many subsist in conditions of chronic poverty, and institutionalized and individual discrimination. This body of works draws on their heritage giving them visibility and opportunity to enable them to better their conditions.
“Family Pictures” is a photographic series that will bring visibility to the plight of the Afro-Latino populations in Latin America. For too long wide watery oceans and barren information deserts have kept apart Descendants of Africa in the Americas… For too long history has made them invisible and unknown to their extended family in the United States. Though there was no interaction between these African Descendants in the past this project will help establish a relationship.
And Hamiltonian writes, the Hamiltonian Gallery and Hamiltonian Artists proudly present the works of photographers Jonathan B. French, Michael Dax Iacovone, and Anne Chan through DC FotoWeek. Through process and subject matter, each artist uniquely investigates relationships between themselves and their environment via the thread of dislocation and reconnection.
