SHOW & TELL, solo exhibit by Bob Allen

SHOW & TELL Solo Exhibit by Bob Allen March 7–30, 2025 Reception: Friday, March 7, 6pm-9pm Artist’s Talk: Friday, March 21, 7pm Five15Arts @ Chartreuse 1301 NW Grand Ave Phoenix, AZ 85007 Gallery Hours: Fridays 6–9pm, Saturdays & Sundays 11am–2pm Or by appointment: five15arts@gmail.com Five15Arts is proud to present SHOW & TELL, a new solo exhibition by collective member Bob Allen. Featuring 25 original mixed-media works, this collection offers an intimate glimpse into the artist’s world—his ideas and memories, meditations and observations—woven together in a compelling visual narrative. Allen’s work, created primarily on stretched canvas and birch panels, reflects a lifetime of experiences, blending the personal with the universal, the tragic with the comic. His richly detailed and immersive style incorporates figures, portraits, text, bold color, and intricate patterns, inviting viewers into his unique storytelling realm. With a career spanning Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and now Phoenix, Allen draws from a deep well of artistic exploration. As a longtime member of Five15Arts and the collective’s current secretary, Allen has been a vital part of the Phoenix art scene. His last solo exhibition at Five15Arts, Alphabetical Order (2023), was met with enthusiasm, and SHOW & TELL promises to be equally engaging. Join us for the Third Friday reception, where Allen will give an artist’s talk, offering insights into his process and the stories behind his work. Five15Arts @ Chartreuse, located on Phoenix’s Historic Grand Avenue, is a collective art gallery dedicated to showcasing monthly exhibitions by member artists and invited guests.
