224 E. Main
Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company to present an exhibition of Kevin Campbell’s Puzzle Project, Thursday February 5, 5 – 8 pm.Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company will open Kevin Campbell: The Puzzle Project, Thursday February 5, 5 – 8 pm, featuring groupings of puzzle pieces that the artist cuts from plywood and paints individually. Each grouping has a place in a much larger puzzle that could be assembled if all the pieces were brought together. The Puzzle Project is a work of art that has no edge and so it can be added onto and ‘grow’ indefinitely. The exhibit will be anchored by a composite image showing what the entire puzzle would look like if it were fully assembled. Throughout the evening, Campbell will be on hand to engage with viewers and answer questions. Light refreshments will be served, and the public is invited to attend.
At 6:15 Campbell will speak about the project and how it has evolved since he began in 1994.
All of the puzzle groupings are expressions of the interconnectedness of the natural world. Each individual piece is “inherently part of something larger than itself,” says Campbell, speaking about the idea that has driven his art for decades. “As it grows, pieces and groups of pieces are separated and treated as individual works of art.” These groups will be hung and for sale in the Gordy gallery. Those who own a piece of the Puzzle Project will forever have a place in the larger composition.
“Works of art are often referred to as ‘pieces of art,’” says Gordy owner Carl Schafer. “For Kevin Campbell this is literally true. He is making only one work of art that has many pieces. Campbell has placed no boundaries on his single work of art. It can continue forever and each piece will always have its place.”
The exhibit will be on view with works for sale in the gallery through March 28, 2026.
Gordy Fine Art and Framing Company promotes talented artists, provides appraisals, enlarges and digitally restores photographs restores antique frames, and offers expert design and craftsmanship for framing and displaying treasured family possessions and works of art.
