Kavi Gupta Gallery

Village Shalom’s most intriguing offering is a painting by Scott Anderson, who grew up in Olathe and earned his bachelor’s in fine arts from Kansas State. Anderson, who lives in Chicago, is gaining a considerable reputation for his enigmatic sci-fi scenarios. The work in the show depicts a kind of subterranean laboratory/game room equipped with control boards and glowing monitors with the attendant wires and cords. The overall sense is rather sinister, but it’s countered by vignettes such as a grouping of chairs around a cooler of Champagne.
