James Wright III+FollowArt, hope, and heart at Alabama Center for the ArtsGary Chapman’s new exhibit, Salamandrina, at the Alabama Center for the Arts, is more than just a showcase of paintings—it’s a deeply personal tribute to his late daughter, Sadie. Chapman uses the salamander as a symbol of resilience and hope, reflecting Sadie’s lifelong battle with a severe heart defect and her journey through surgeries and a heart transplant. The exhibit invites us to think about how art can help us process loss, celebrate life, and imagine a future where science and hope meet. Who else finds comfort or inspiration in art during tough times? #Entertainment #Painting #AlabamaArts00Share
