The Eisenhauer Gallery’s second exhibit of the season, entitled Embody, opens Thursday, July 15, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. with libations and live music by Mike Benjamin

This collection of art encases figurative works from Kathy Jones, Justin Taylor, Jylian Gustlin, Melinda Morrison, Rebecca Kinkead and the gallery’s newest artist, Carol Bennett. The exhibit correlates the very distinctive styles of our artists through their shared thematic interpretations of “the body.”

Cheri Christensen’s No Country for Old Cows sits on a wall in Eisenhauer Gallery in Edgartown. True to the name, it’s a painting of cattle. But the artist’s use of light, a faint yellow outline around her subjects, gives the cows an aura of majesty, as if rays of the setting sun chose only to fall on them.
