Bruno David is pleased to present Sticks and Stones, an exhibition by Korean-born artist Becky Moon. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Sticks and Stones, a series of paintings that explore the themes of belief, tangibility, mass, and gravity. There is nothing as everlasting as the invisible human mind. The mind is a refuge for those who long for a land they can never return to. I want my paintings to be flag posts that remind the existence of the mind that it is real, alive, and persistent. Even when all is lost, the mind lives on.

Bruno David is pleased to present Upended, a sculpture installation by multi-disciplinary artist Judith Shaw. The exhibition will be on view from April 4 through June 21, 2025, at the gallery’s WINDOW ON FORSYTH location, accessible 24/7 at 7513 Forsyth Blvd., Saint Louis (Downtown Clayton), MO. This is Shaw’s second solo exhibition with Bruno David Gallery. ‘Upended’ is part of a sculptural series that turns roadside tire debris into emotionally charged pieces about disintegration and integration. The work is informed by the expressive potential inherent in the raw material. “Explosive, gutted tire casings evoke the impulsive pace of our world and the outer and inner turbulence that erupts as a consequence, Shaw says. The debris forms a conversation about fragmentation, alienation, and dislocation. When gathering rubber along the highways, with cars and trucks speeding past me, the air and ground vibrating, I experience viscerally the fraying of personal and interpersonal connection. The chaos lingers in the character of the sculptural forms. At the same time, the womb-like shape speaks to human-to-human connection and intimacy.”

Bruno David Gallery presents Vanitas Vanitatum. A video-work by multi-disciplinary Chicago-based artist Carlos Salazar-Lermont. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Vanitas Vanitatum presents a split-screen composition. On the left side, surgical and carpentry tools such as a saw and a hammer are shown, which Salazar-Lermont uses energetically but without purpose. On the right side, two assistants pierce the artist's skin to insert eyelets, which they then use, along with Salazar-Lermont’s shoelace, to tie a bouquet of flowers to his chest.

Bruno David is pleased to present Adaptations, an exhibition by artist Arny Nadler. This is the artist’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. In this new series, Nadler’s work explores ideas of wholeness in physical and psychological forms. In clay and ink, he contemplates the body’s precarity and its ability to adapt. Nadler says: “These simultaneously heroic and absurd forms question our fixed notions of defeat and triumph. In the face of danger, desire, or even loss, theirs is a system that adjusts toward survival.”

The National Weather Service in St. Louis, in coordination with partners across the region, are offering storm spotter classes at several locations to prepare for severe weather season. If you would like to assist your local community by becoming a volunteer storm spotter and reporting severe weather to the National Weather Service, or if you simply want to learn more about severe weather, consider attending one of our classes! Classes are normally held in the evening and last approximately 2 hours.

Attendees are taught the basics of thunderstorm development, storm structure, the features to look for, and where to find them. What, when, and how to report information, as well as basic severe weather safety, are also covered.

Classes are free and for all ages (even small children)! No pre-registration is required for in-person classes.

Get up close with Bobby Rush, a GRAMMY-winning Blues legend, Blues Hall of Famer, five-time Grammy nominee, 13-time Blues Music Award winner, and B.B. King Entertainer of the Year. During his renowned stage show, Bobby frequently jumps high into the air, arms spread and legs tucked, only to land gracefully and return without a hitch to his dazzling routine. It’s a move you might expect at a contemporary R&B show, but it’s downright shocking when you realize that Rush is in his late 80s.

“I never thought I would be here this long,” says Rush. “I was 83 years old before I won a Grammy, but it’s better late than never. I laugh about it, but I’m so blessed and I surely never thought I’d be making a living doing what I’m doing. I’m not just an old guy on my way out.”

Hardly. Rush’s busy schedule includes headlining European festivals with his band and solo programs at venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center, and he just recorded an album of brand new material, All My Love For You, coming out via his own label Deep Rush Records in collaboration with Nashville-based Thirty Tigers. Over the last several years he’s won a second Grammy, re-recorded his 1971 hit Chicken Heads together with his old friend Buddy Guy and young blues star Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, and written a critically acclaimed autobiography, I Ain’t Studdin’ You: My American Blues Story.
