Froelick Gallery is pleased to present Kris Hargis’s 14th solo exhibition Alone, Together. Kris Hargis makes arresting self portraits that invite the viewer into a private, internal space. He also works in the tradition of the still life, rendering rich floral arrangements. His pastel and charcoal drawings walk a line between focused and expressive, gestural marks, and erasures, which converge in a deeply compelling whole.

About this newest series Hargis writes:

“ My drawing is mostly quiet, and observational. I sit or stand and look at stuff and draw it. Nothing fancy or spectacular, it’s just me looking at the thing. Whether it is a reflection of my own gaze or a gather of flowers that I picked, nothing changes.

When it isn’t quiet, it can be deafening. I judge myself, my worth, my capabilities. Sitting with all that while I look and figure, and continue to be taken by what lies in front of me.

Ultimately, it all comes out on the paper. I just have to show up, and some days I don’t want to. Always trying to leave it to the drawing room to say ‘good work and see ya tomorrow.’ ”

Hargis received his MFA from Boise State University in 2016, and his BFA from the University of Kansas in 1998. Hargis will be attending Penland School of Craft as a Resident Studio Assistant this coming June 2027. Kris Hargis has been represented by Froelick Gallery since 2002.
