Kansas City, MO, June 23rd, 2023: Weinberger Fine Art is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of works by Kansas City based artist Lily Mueller in Viajas de Mis Sueños, opening on Friday, June 23rd, from 5 to 8 pm.
Viajes de Mis Sueños translates to “Trips of my Dreams” which references Mueller’s impactful travels, more specifically how these travels have influenced her perception as she moves through the world. She’s named each piece after one of these destinations, rooting each one in an associated memory of the details, colors, textures, and patterns. By exploring each of these locations, her creativity has been ignited and is evident through the exploration of these ideas in her work.
For Mueller, color is the language of her work. She makes quilts and paintings inspired by music, psychedelia and architecture with a heavy influence by art nouveau band posters from the late 1960's, mid century modern design patterns, and the geometry of buildings. She utilizes these design concepts to create work that feels balanced yet makes a bold and colorful statement.
Her work feels timeless and somehow effortless while simultaneously catapulting you into a very specific, yet intangible moment. Utilizing traditional quilting techniques paired with her own quilting language she creates a visual playground for the viewer, with each piece consisting of hand-dyed fabrics and refined textures that, when paired, result in masterful color palettes and stunning designs.
Mueller explores the processes of quilting and drawing while integrating them with the aforementioned concepts of psychedelia, color, architecture and mid century modern design. Much of her inspiration comes from performing and listening to music alongside memories of her childhood and Nicaraguan heritage. She has been largely influenced by her fathers career as an architect, his interest in 60's psychedelic light shows, and her mothers love for textiles and fashion. She's exhibited at notable galleries including Jackson Junge Gallery in Chicago, Charlotte Street Foundation, and Troost Gardens in Kansas City. Mueller received her BFA at the Kansas City Art Institute

Weinberger Fine Art is pleased to present our first solo exhibition with Kansas City based artist Jason Needham titled The Majestic Mundane. The Majestic Mundane is set to open on September 23rd and will run through November 9th. Please join us for an opening reception on the evening of Friday, September 23rd from 6 - 9 pm.
Jason is drawing and painting scenes that are very familiar to him: still life or interior compositions taken from his home, or forest scenes just off the beaten path. The trick is to see these mundane moments as majestic while allowing the mistakes of hand and misconceptions of the eye be as present as the purposeful. He like the paintings to coalesce from a distance but upon close inspection fall apart into marks and express the process of making, with the underlaying scaffolding of the image still visible. Each brushstroke becomes a single particle and the painting a wave of time-space. Whether he's standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon or staring into the corner of a room, the investment in looking is just the same. On one end, he's working areas of his brain that lie deeper than the surface stream of thoughts, the self-narrating voice. On the other end, he's pondering the fundamental structure of reality.
In conjunction with our current exhibition The Life You’ve Seen, and in honor of National Poetry Month, Weinberger Fine Art is pleased to present a night of poetry and live music happening on Thursday, May 12th from 7 - 9 pm. Organizer and poet Elena Stephenson will be reading from her newly released zine The Pink Wall Series and will be joined by Rylan Scott Keeling. Live music and entertainment by Chase Horseman. Light drinks and snacks will be served.

Curiouser KC is excited to announce a collaborative exhibition with Weinberger Fine Art. Showcasing the works of Madeline Gallucci in a show titled Two Thousand Eighteen set to open March 18th and hang through April 8th. The show will take place at Curiouser KC’s North exhibition space at 611 N 6th Street, Kansas City, KS, 66101. The opening reception will be March 18th, from 6-8pm.
Statement about the works from curator and WFA gallery director Madeline Brice:
“This selection and exhibition of works is an ode to Madeline’s time spent in Kansas City. Made mostly in 2018, these works explore the history of camouflage and disrupt the patterns intended use. Influenced by the camofleurs, a group of impressionist painters hired to create and test the first batches of camouflage, Madeline sought to reinvent the pattern herself through a series of large scale, unstretched paintings. Her work is not only experiential and explorative, but it’s colorful and joyous, raising the energy of any room it’s placed within.”
Artist’s Bio:
Madeline Gallucci is an artist, educator and organizer living in Chicago, IL. She received her BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2012 and her MFA at the University of Chicago in 2020. Madeline is a recipient of the 2016 Charlotte Street Foundation Visual Artist Award and has held residencies at LATITUDE, ACRE, Minnesota Street Project, Grin City Collective and Kansas City’s historic Hotel Phillips. She has exhibited at Produce Model, LVL3 and UGLY (Chicago, IL); Super Dutchess Gallery (New York, NY); Rebekah Templeton (Philadelphia, PA); Skylab (Columbus, OH); Terrault Contemporary (Baltimore, MD); Pelican Bomb Gallery X (New Orleans, LA); the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Plug Projects, and 21c Museum Hotel (Kansas City, MO). Collections include the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Overland Park, KS.
From 2014-2018, Madeline was Co-Director of Front/Space, an artist- run project space located in Kansas City, MO. Her new project, RADAR, looks to further explore her interests of artist-as-curator and the intersections of these roles in midwestern communities.

[KANSAS CITY, MO - FEB 4TH] - Join us on Friday, February 4th from 4-7pm as Weinberger Fine Art presents Works From The Archive, a selection of rare, large-scale works by Kansas City artist Tom Gregg, on view until March 28th. Works From The Archive will feature four unique, hyperrealistic paintings from the artist that haven’t been shown in the greater Kansas City metro area since 1995. These works will be supported by several of his more contemporary works on panel.
Tom Gregg’s interest in still life painting stems from a fascination with objects and the way they share the world of people, yet remain independent, even indifferent, to our struggles and exertions. They maintain a steadfast otherness, an unknown quality, a mystery in their mere existence. Objects exist; simply, clearly, and profoundly. Still life as a subject matter offers a wealth of potential in terms of metaphor and narrative. Objects, placed upon a tabletop in the studio, are a bit like actors on a stage, in a visual drama. In pure painterly terms, the subject of still life provides Gregg with both a wide range of formal elements to be explored and a unique ability to exert control over these experiments.
Gregg has lived in Kansas City since 1994 and works out of a studio space in the West Bottoms. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and went on to earn his MFA from Yale University. Tom’s paintings are in numerous collections, both public and private, including the Evansville Museum of Arts and Sciences, Evansville, IN, the Nerman Museum of Art, Overland Park, KS, the Pfizer Corporation, New York, NY, the Harvard Business School, Boston, MA, and the Federal Reserve Bank, Kansas City, MO.
Weinberger Fine Art has represented Tom for nearly five years and is honored to be able to present Works From The Archive. WFA is open to the public Tuesday - Friday from 10-6pm, Saturdays 12-5pm, and by appointment.
Grayscale is an exhibition featuring works in the black and white monochrome. A carefully curated selection of works featuring artists Zack Smithey, Kyle Goddard, Amy Feldman, Linda Lighton, and more, will be on view starting November 5th through the end of the year.
For this exhibition, the WFA team sought to showcase works in stark contrast to our recent exhibition Life on the Brighter Side and choose a selection of artists whose work pairs nicely with new WFA artist Zack Smithey's process-driven works. Most of the works you'll see will be fairly large scale, abstracted works on canvas, reminiscent of abstract expressionists Franz Kline and Robert Motherwell.
Weinberger Fine Art is located at 114 Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri. WFA is open to the public on Friday, November 5th, from 11a-7pm.
Artists include:
Amy Feldman
Also on view: new Dean Kube, Cynthia Bjorn, Brenda Zappitel,
Small/affordable works in featured artist space; new Carlos, framed Madeline Gallucci, Kevin Morris.
