New Photographs of India by Milwaukee Painter and Printmaker Jan Serr Featured in The Warehouse’s Fall Exhibition Sept. 13 – Dec. 13

Milwaukee (September 10, 2019) – The exhibit Jan Serr: A Painter’s Photographs of India will open at The Warehouse on Friday Sept. 13, the gallery announced Tuesday.

The opening celebration for the show takes place Thursday Sept. 19 from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. with a brief talk by the artist at 7 p.m. The exhibition runs through Dec. 13, 2019.

With a decades-long career exhibiting both nationally and internationally, Milwaukee-based painter and printmaker Jan Serr presents a new body of work in her show. Jan Serr: A Painter’s Photographs of India is Serr’s first solo exhibition dedicated to her photography. Photographs from northern and southern India depict painterly scenes filled with vivid colors and quiet moments. Like the landscapes, still lifes, and portraits she paints, Serr’s eye designs striking images through the lens of her camera.

Serr is a graduate and Distinguished Alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where she received her BA and MFA in painting and drawing. Her work is in public and private collections in the United States and Canada, which she was represented by the Marlborough Godard Gallery. She was selected to be part of the Art in Embassies, a program of the U.S. State Department. Her work is in the collections of the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Rahr West Art Museum, the Haggerty Museum of Art, and in Johnson Foundation.

In conjunction with this exhibition, photographs from The Warehouse’s permanent collection will be on display in dialogue with Serr’s work.
