Lisa Marie Thalhammer: Chromatic Dialogue features an assortment of creative work -- drawings, prints, and paintings -- by artist and muralist Lisa Marie Thalhammer (b. 1981). Thalhammer's distinctive style, characterized by vivid colors and intricate patterns, rise above mere considerations of visual beauty or superficial appearances in art. Her work delves into the metaphysical realm, drawing direct inspiration from the ancient chakra colors. In a masterful layering of the symbolic hues of the Pride Flag with the chakra colors, Thalhammer invites viewers to contemplate the intricate tapestry of individual and collective identity, crafting a unique visual language that resonates on multiple levels, harmonizing the rich diversity of the human experience with spiritual exploration and activism.

Chromatic Dialogue is organized by Director Taras W. Matla. Major support is provided by the Dorothy and Nicholas Orem Exhibition Fund. Generous support is provided by the Maryland State Arts Council. This exhibition is in association with University of Maryland's Arts for All initiative.
